$100 can help provide opportunities for first-generation students to explore research and leadership opportunities.

Your donation will provide 100 individual meal cards at UT sponsored dining facilities that serve balanced meals for students experiencing food insecurities.

A donation of $500 can give a scholarship to a first-generation mentor/ambassador

Giving students the tools (textbooks, laptops, or ipad) to succeed in their academic classes

Your donation will help the Initiative Program create a student learning community space for first-generation students so that they may have the chance to study and develop relationships with each other.

Investing into a first-generation student will not only impact their immediate family but will also make a profound and significant impact on their future.
