Scholarship Opportunities
Scholarships make a difference
The cost of tuition and fees at UTEP is approximately $6,300 per year. Each year the University distributes a large number of scholarship awards made possible by gifts from individuals, corporations, foundations and civic organizations. The dollar amounts of these scholarship awards vary from $1,500 to $6,000 per year.
Become an endowed scholarship donor
With a gift of $25,000 or more, you can create an endowed scholarship at UTEP. An endowed scholarship can be designated to a particular college or department and can be named in honor of the donor (The Jane and John Donor Endowed Scholarship) or for anyone the donor might wish to honor. Each endowed scholarship or fellowship is recognized with a solid brass plaque on the Wall of Honor in the respective college or the University Library for scholarships endowed for university wide initiatives.
NOTE: Donors may pay over five (5) years to fully fund an endowment.
Become an annual scholarship donor
Establish a named annual scholarship
If you give $1,500 or more now, and pledge to give the same amount for 3 additional years, we will establish a scholarship in your name (or in honor of someone you select). By funding scholarships for 4 years, you will enable a talented student to concentrate on his/her course work, free from the worry of next year’s tuition.
Annual Scholarship Funding Levels:
$6,000 ($1,500 per year for 4 years)
$12,000 ($3,000 per year for 4 years)
$16,000 ($4,000 per year for 4 years)
$24,000 ($6,000 per year for 4 years)
Become a scholarship donor
Your gift in any amount, designated to undergraduate or graduate scholarships, will be pooled with other gifts and used to provide as many scholarships as possible each year.
