The School of Engineering hosts the Oulu Technical University Foundation, a foundation to support and promote training and associated research and development in the School of Engineering of Oulu University of Applied Sciences, which continues the work of The Technical University of Oulu.
The Oulu Technical University Foundation was founded on 6 October 1994 as the Technical University celebrated its 100th birthday. The initial capital of the Foundation was collected from the donations made to the Technical University on its birthday by organisations and companies as well as from the grant funds of the University. Since then, the Foundation has received donations mostly from the business community. With these donations, the Foundation has been able to increase its capital and award a significant number of grants and scholarships every year.
