McCombs - BBA Legacy

The success of the McCombs School of Business is founded on the energy and generosity of students and alumni like you. With more than 4,600 current undergraduate students, even small gifts make a big collective impact and help to improve the quality of McCombs education. The amount of your gift is less important than giving back in a meaningful way. So, we ask you to dig deep and give back to the school that has given us so much.

This year is a very special one for both McCombs and BBA Legacy, as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the BBA Program! To add fuel to the fire, an anonymous donor has challenged current undergraduates with $10,000 in dollar-for-dollar matching. Every student gift to the McCombs Undergraduate Endowed Excellence Fund made during the 40 for 40 campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar, until the matching funds are exhausted. So, make your gift early and double your impact! This Endowment Fund is dedicated to four areas: Study Abroad Scholarships, Diversity Recruiting, Entrepreneurship Expansion, and Leadership Development Programming

There are loads of UT wide challenges and contests you can take advantage of too! Most of them are time sensitive, so take a look at the challenges to the right and plan your strategy to maximize your impact and do your part to make McCombs #1.

Our goal is to celebrate at least 500 BBA Legacy donors and take advantage of every last dollar of matching funds by the time the final hour draws to a close. So please make your gift now and take a moment to encourage your friends and classmates to participate via FacebookTwitter, and Instagram or take it to the next level and become an Ambassador by joining HornShare and gain a chance to win some cool prizes.

Thanks!
