Our Goals

UT Austin is already a distinguished institution, standing alongside the best universities in the nation. Our goal, however, is to not be beside our peers, but in front of them, leading the nation as the great public research university. If The University of Texas at Austin is to realize its vision of excellence, it must have your support.

Your contribution to the Graduate School will ensure our ability to support excellence in graduate education across campus. To be truly competitive we must double the number of top tier fellowships awarded. Learn more about the Graduate School's development priorities (pdf).

These fellowships will fully support the top 5% of all graduate students at the university and allow us to compete for the world's most talented students.

All gifts, in any form, are important to the Graduate School, as each will help us achieve our goal of supporting the next generation of scholars. Our new initiative, The 1910 Society, provides you the opportunity to be recognized as a supporter while keeping you connected to the activities of the Graduate School.
