Annual giving efforts are crucial to providing our students with the financial support they need to be successful. Annual giving dollars support everything from our academics and scholarships to top-notch facilities and emergency relief grants.
Named annual scholarships have an immediate impact on students. Establish this type of scholarship with a minimum gift of $3,000.
Endowed scholarships are awarded annually in perpetuity in honor of the donor. Establish an endowment scholarship with a minimum gift of $25,000.
Donors may designate scholarship criteria based on academic merit, financial need, and area of study.
Scholarships minimums are payable for up to five years.
Food insecurity can cause students to miss or drop a class, or not buy a required textbook or supplies. Yet nearly 25% of college students nationwide report the lowest levels of food insecurity.
It disproportionately affects students of color and first-generation college students the most. To combat hunger on our campuses, we work with the Houston Food Bank to support the San Jac Marketplaces. Students are able to shop at our markets weekly and get the food they need without worrying about cost or sacrificing their education.
