Who we are
The College of Education serves the people of Texas, the nation, and the world through transformational research and teaching. Our work is guided by a deep commitment to community partnership and bridging research to practice. We are agents of change committed to transforming education and health care research, practice, and policy to ensure the thriving of children, families, schools and communities.
What we’re fundraising for
Scholarship support for undergraduate and graduate students continues to be a top priority for the College of Education. We remain committed to recruiting, enrolling and graduating talented students, who are dedicated to serving their communities and making an impact on the lives of others.
Scholarship support is crucial for student success. Your gift of any size to undergraduate or graduate scholarships helps ensure that the Forty Acres experience remains accessible for all students, particularly those most affected by this health and economic crisis.
Your Impact
The support of loyal alumni and friends means more today than ever before as we continue to evaluate and begin the work of recovering from the impact of COVID-19 on education and health. Even as we respond to acute needs and address longstanding inequities, the college remains stalwart in our mission to serve kids, individuals, families, schools and communities.
Your gift is an investment in the future. The pandemic has reinforced the critical role that educators and health professionals play in shaping lives. Whether you are supporting a future teacher, kinesiology and health education student or graduate student, your gift helps those preparing to make a difference in education and health.
By making a gift in support of undergraduate or graduate scholarships, you are sending a strong message to our students that their work and goals are important and you are invested in their success.
Supporting Texas Education Undergraduates
Texas inspires its students to be bold and ambitious as they pursue their dreams. In the College of Education, our undergraduates are preparing to be leaders in education, health and sport. They are motivated by their goals to change the world each day by changing lives—as teachers, health professionals, coaches, and school leaders.
Many of our programs include robust field experiences, ensuring our students have the tools and experiences necessary to become the service-oriented leaders our world needs. Our future teachers are seeing first-hand the essential role that educators play in children’s lives and in the community. Texas Education kinesiology and health education students are preparing to become physical therapists, coaches, trainers, sports professionals and more. All KHE programs have an interdisciplinary approach, which includes health behavior and a focus on experiential learning.
Your support creates opportunities for promising undergraduate students who will leave their mark on the world.
Supporting Texas Education Graduate Students
Graduate students are the driving force behind UT’s extraordinary research accomplishments. Texas Education graduate students work alongside faculty and are strategic partners supporting learning and participating on research teams, tackling critical health and education challenges. Driven by a desire to serve their communities, graduate students pursue new insights into some of the most pressing concerns in education and health and will become the future leaders who will shape policy and practice across the state of Texas and beyond.
Your gift provides immediate support and is a vote of confidence in their future work as leaders and changemakers.
