2024 Class Gift: College of Education

WHAT IS THE CLASS GIFT?

Each year, graduating Longhorns at The University of Texas at Austin make an impact by giving to the “Class Gift” to support future Longhorns. Students can choose to give back to one of the highlighted funds — or any of the people, places, and pursuits that have supported them while at UT.


As an added bonus, your donation to the Class Gift from March 1 – May 11 will be DOUBLED up to $30,000 thanks to the Office of the President!



WHAT CAN I SUPPORT?

Scholarship support continues to be a top priority for the College of Education as we prepare talented students dedicated to serving their communities and transforming lives. Your gift in support of the 2024 Class Gift makes a tangible difference for College of Education students by helping to defray the cost of tuition, making housing more affordable and funding experiential learning opportunities.


The need for leaders in education and health has never been more urgent.


Your support of the 2024 Class Gift and Texas Education sends a strong message to our current students that their work, pursuits and passions are important and will make a lasting difference throughout the state of Texas and across the nation.


You are joining an exceptional group of alumni who are making a difference in education, health and sport. We are excited for you to continue your legacy as a Longhorn, and you will always have a home here in the College of Education.
