Endowed graduate fellowships are vital to enabling the best and the brightest students to attend planning school. These endowments provide an annual income to assist with both academic and living expenses for graduate students.

Existing Endowments

Below is the list of existing endowments that were established in honor of our alumni and leaders.

• The City and Regional Planning General Development Fund - supports teaching and research in the School.
• The Frederick K. Bell Fellowship Endowment - supports MCRP students in memory of the Atlanta and South Carolina planner.
• The Thomas D. Galloway Fellowship Endowment - supports MCRP graduate students in memory of the former College of Design (formerly College of Architecture) dean.
• The Glatting, Jackson, Kercher, Anglin, Lopez Endowment - supports MCRP students working in areas of land development, transportation, and urban design.
• The Thera Richter Endowment - supports female MCRP students in memory of Tech’s first female master’s degree holder.
• The Frank Wilkinson Endowment - supports research on urban development outside of the Atlanta Metro region.

Successful cutting-edge research requires laboratory facilities, equipment, and support services that State resources cannot sufficiently fund. Faculty chair endowments are key to enabling faculty to conduct investigations that have promise for developing solutions to today’s planning problems and anticipating tomorrow’s challenges across the planning spectrum.
