Open a Door to the Forty Acres 

When you endow a scholarship, you help The University of Texas at Austin attract outstanding high-potential students and inspire them for a lifetime of success, leadership and impact. Your generosity helps an exceptional and diverse community of learners, scholars and trailblazers access the outstanding academic, experiential and cultural opportunities available to them at UT.

What is an endowed scholarship?

Many supporters have chosen to make a lasting difference for UT students by creating an endowed scholarship. When you endow a scholarship, the initial gift amount ($100,000 or more) is invested, and scholarships are granted each year from the interest earned. In this way, your impact will go on for generations to come!

There are many opportunities across campus to create your endowed scholarship, which can be funded with a variety of assets given at one time or through a multi-year pledge.

Contact our team today to learn more, or discover the best way to create your endowed scholarship with our scholarship questionnaire.

My UT education is the path to everything I want to achieve in the future. Thank you for ensuring finances are not a limiting factor in helping me achieve my dreams.
