Earnings support campus events, grants and activities, including the prestigious Robert W. Hamilton Book Awards to recognize faculty authors and the George H. Mitchell Student Awards for Academic Excellence. Since the year 2000, the University Co-op has provided over 22 million dollars to UT including rebates to students.
