Named Scholarships
Established by loyal alumni, friends, and students of The University of Texas at Austin, named scholarships serve as memorials to loved ones, pay tribute to the University, and honor affinity groups.
Each scholarship has its own criteria, according to the wishes of the donor. Some are merit-based, while others require financial need. Still others support students in specific academic disciplines or extracurricular organizations. Some consider leadership qualities or hometown. The range is truly enormous. More than $1.3 million is awarded through Named Scholarships each year.
How to Apply
By completing the Texas Exes scholarship application, students automatically apply for many of the Texas Exes Named scholarships they qualify to receive. (Excludes the Forty Acres Scholars Program.) Others are listed within the Recommended Opportunities section of the student’s application.

The Scholars Say...
“My choice to come to Dell for my medical training has been reaffirmed by the quality of academic training and the people by which I am surrounded. The scholarship was a large draw. It allows me to more fully pursue my career aspirations.”
