Scholarships > DonorsWhy establish a scholarship?If not for the generosity of alumni and friends of the University of Texas, the The Texas Exes could not award scholarships to outstanding future and current Longhorns. John Kidenda, a UT junior from Kenya, recently spoke to scholarship donors and recipients about this important program. Let him tell you why you should contribute.
Ready to make a lasting impression? A named scholarship may be endowed with a minimum contribution of $20,000 from an individual or $7,500 from a Texas Exes Chapter. This amount can be raised over days, months, years or all at once. It’s up to you! Personal care is taken in designing the awards to reflect your intentions as new donors. Your scholarship will be awarded to the student/s you feel most connected to. For example, a liberal arts major with community service experience and financial need. Details... Tax-deductible contributions to any Association scholarship fund are welcome at any time. Memorial gifts will be acknowledged in accordance with your wishes.

I could hardly believe how time had flown by, and yet here I was, one full year into my undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering. The resources available to me here at the University had helped me achieve more than I had dared to hope for in such a short time. From helping organize awareness campaigns for the genocide in Sudan, to getting appointed as Director of an agency in Student Government, this had truly been an exceptionally productive year. And so as I sat alone outside the interview room in the Alumni Center, awaiting my turn, I struggled to be optimistic, and refused to entertain the thought of not being able to attend UT in the fall..."
