SUPPORT STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS!

Scholarships are incredibly important to UTEP students and their families—they open the gateway to higher education and provide opportunities for them to reach their full potential. While each scholarship recipient has their own story, it’s a universal truth that financial support empowers UTEP students to complete their degrees and achieve their dreams. Your support matters for students like Alyssa Ortiz Rodriguez, class of 2027.

"As I always like to say, a scholarship is both a privilege and an opportunity...with such resources, you’re given the chance to prove yourself. The great thing is that you can prove yourself both right and wrong. You can identify what it is that works for you and what doesn’t, what you enjoy versus what you endure. The pleasure of studying with financial support is one that I do not take for granted...it is thanks to such scholarships that I feel capable of trying new things. Things like becoming a Peer Leader, a Writing Consultant, or satisfying my dream of studying abroad were at one point unimaginable. Now, without the financial burden, I find that they are right at my fingertips."
