Over the course of its 100-year history, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has emerged as the unquestioned global leader in aviation and aerospace education and research.
To expand our groundbreaking leadership position, we are excited to announce the launch of Imagine What’s Next, a $200 million Centennial Campaign that will propel Embry‑Riddle into its next century of educational excellence and innovation.
Embry-Riddle has come a long way from the single Waco aircraft that launched its operations in 1926. Fueled by our trademark passion for all things aviation and aerospace — and our commitment to shape its future — we have never stopped imagining “What’s Next” for the most exciting industry on the planet.
It’s that passion and imagination that have kept us ahead of the curve for a century — and will keep us leading the next.
With your visionary support of this $200 million campaign, we will enrich education, fuel pioneering research and nurture our passion for exploration and innovation.
For our next century, we invite you to be part of this thrilling voyage of discovery. Together we will empower future generations to lead, discover, build and fly with the unparalleled passion and commitment to excellence that has become Embry-Riddle’s hallmark.
Your support for student scholarships will ensure that every talented and driven Embry-Riddle student can access the high-quality education they deserve and transform their dreams into reality.
Your contribution to hands-on, immersive learning experiences will prepare students for professional excellence, foster their professional growth and set the stage for them to excel in their future careers.
Your visionary investment in endowed chairs and professorships will enable us to attract and retain the best minds in teaching and research, bringing invaluable industry insights, vigorous research capabilities and innovative approaches to learning.
Your investment to expand our Centers of Excellence will empower leading faculty and the next generation of students to pioneer advancements that make aerospace operations safer, more efficient and sustainable on Earth and in space.
Our students didn’t just follow the textbook — they created a solution that addresses a critical real-world issue.
Even as a freshman I could join projects in clubs and labs that many students at other universities couldn’t until their junior or senior year.
