Support the College

When given the opportunity, we can achieve great things. But we can’t do it alone – we rely on our brilliant and accomplished community of alumni and friends for support, advice and inspiration. Join us in our quest to revolutionize communication education and make the College the national center for work on media convergence.

Belo Center for New Media

Ground-breaking is planned for 2010, and once completed, the Belo Center for New Media will be a national center for work on media convergence. Learn more about the building and meet its architects and the generous donors who are making it possible.

Ways to Give

No matter the size, your gift matters. Your support of faculty excellence, innovative programs, student scholarships and world-class educational facilities will ensure academic excellence and opportunity for generations to come. Visit our secure online gift page here.

Scholarship Support

One of the extraordinary strengths of the College is our exceptional, diverse student body. But as tuition and expenses continue to rise, many of our students are graduating with crushing debt, and many are unable to take part in the study-abroad programs and internships programs that are so vital to a communication education. Our students need your help. Endowed scholarships and fellowships are vital to ensuring that today’s students, as well as generations to come, have the resources they need to succeed at the University.

Learn more about our current fundraising drives for scholarships and graduate fellowships for communication students.


Capital Campaign

The University of Texas has embarked on a multi-year, $3 billion comprehensive capital campaign to increase resources across the campus and to create the “disciplined culture of excellence” called for by the Commission of 125, which established goals for the University for the coming 25 years.

As part of the “Campaign for Texas,” the College’s campaign will enable us to build on our tradition of excellence by strengthening our foundation of faculty and students, renovating our existing facilities and funding innovation.
