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 Jaime Sotelo, class of 2026.

"My scholarship has profoundly impacted both my academic journey and personal development. Beyond the financial support, which has significantly reduced the need for extensive part-time work, it has given me the invaluable freedom to fully immerse myself in my studies and pursue extracurricular opportunities. An example is my current involvement in an undergraduate research project, where we are developing a sub-system for a satellite. This scholarship directly enabled me to acquire crucial components for our prototypes, accelerating our progress. More importantly, this hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of theoretical concepts learned in classes and reinforced their critical importance in real-world applications."
