WHY I CHOSE TO GIVE
WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING?
After surveying the Class of 2019, we learned that a resource on campus that we all appreciate is the libraries. Whether it's studying, researching, writing papers, or taking a break between classes, UT Libraries have become a large part of our college memories. Because of that, we want to give back:
BECOMING PART OF THE TRADITION
Every Senior who gives $20.19 or more will receive a commemorative Class of 2019 Philanthropy Pin to wear at graduation.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is the Senior Class Gift different from tuition or endowments?
Tuition, which currently amounts to 21% of UT’s budget, helps cover the less apparent costs of facilities, utilities, faculty and staff salaries and student services. The Senior Class Gift intends to fund programs and entities that are not adequately covered by tuition.
How will my donation be recognized?
All donors will have the option to be on the virtual Donor Wall on the HornRaiser page. Seniors that donate $20.19 (or more) will receive a Senior Class Gift pin to wear at graduation.
How much am I being asked to give?
Our recommended donation is $20.19. With that being said, our primary goal is participation. We encourage students to participate in Class Giving by donating however much they currently can in a way that is most meaningful to them.
Who is in charge of the Class Gift?
The Class of 2019 Gift is a Student Government initiative, managed by the Class Gift Agency of Student Government and Student Foundation, with the support of the President’s office and the UT Development Office.
I am a parent of a Class of 2019 graduate. Can I donate?
Absolutely! Parents donating for Class of 2019 graduates should include their Longhorn’s name in the donation note. Parents not representing Class of 2019 students can donate as well!
I am an underclassman at UT. Can I donate? If so, why should I donate?
You can absolutely donate and start your tradition of giving back to UT!
Is there any other way to donate?
Yes! You can donate through Venmo. Send your donations of $20.19 or more to @UTSTUFO. *Please make sure to include your EID, and the name of the Ambassador, if there is one.
