CLOSED - Matching Grant Doubles Your Impact on Students this GivingTuesday!

This project was completed in 2020 and is no longer active. 

This GivingTuesday, we are calling on YOU as part of Longhorn Nation to provide the support students need to graduate on time, achieve lifelong success and become the next generation of leaders. And today only, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar — doubling your impact.

Every student admitted to The University of Texas at Austin is a future leader. Scholarship support is critical to recruiting and enrolling these high-potential students, and innovative campus initiatives empower and engage them.

What Will My GivingTuesday Gift Support?

Your generous gift will fund efforts to bring the best future leaders to the Forty Acres and provide them with opportunities they need to succeed at all stages of their college journey.

• Scholarships that recognize high-potential students from across the state who are making an impact in their local community. Your support allows them to unlock their potential and graduate career-ready.
• Innovative programs and experiential learning opportunities that give students a world-class educational experience and prepare them to graduate on time.

This GivingTuesday, we are asking you and all of Longhorn Nation to step up and support these future leaders and ensure that they have the resources they need to graduate on time.

And there’s exciting news! A matching grant will double your gift dollar for dollar up to $100,000 — which means your support will have twice the impact and provide up to $200,000 for students!

What could $200,000 do to help our students change the world?

• Support 80 students as they participate in unpaid summer internships to develop transferable skills they need to compete in today’s world.
• Provide leadership development assessments to help 1,500 students identify their strengths and how to grow them. Students participating in strengths-based initiatives are more likely to stay in college, graduate, and succeed in their careers.
• Fund 200 micro-grants that make the difference for students who don’t have the funds to pay for a course they need to graduate.
• Provide high-impact experiences like professional and career development opportunities for 150 first-generation students, encouraging them to stay in school and preparing them to become the leaders who change the world.

Now is the time.

Join with Longhorn Nation today on GivingTuesday, and help unlock $200,000 in critical support for UT students.  When you do, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar!

Together, we can make a difference in students’ lives.
