Endowments

Endowments help the university recruit and retain top faculty and students, support experiential learning, give our students and faculty access to the technology they need to be first class, and support or even create special programs that enrich the Longhorn experience. Donors name their endowments, and in doing so can forever link themselves to The University of Texas at Austin, honor organizations, or pay tribute to or memorialize family members or friends.

If you would like to connect with us, you may reach out to:

Chairs are established to support eminent faculty, department chairs, and deans. Endowed chairs are among the most important gifts a donor can make. Chair holders attract exceptional students and junior and senior faculty to UT Austin, stimulate significant research, and leverage funding from other sources.
