How to Give
The involvement of our alumni and friends has made a very meaningful difference to the quality of our undergraduate and graduate experience, our ability to recruit the best faculty and graduate students, and our ability to launch new research initiatives and community outreach efforts. Every gift counts and every gift is put to good use.

Endowments
are the gifts that keep on giving. The funds are invested by the UT System, and the interest generated by that
investment is used for the purpose you wish to support—financial aid, merit awards for students, supplemental salary
support for faculty, research and more. A portion of the income is re-invested each year, enabling the endowment to
continue to grow and provide a predictable, stable stream of income over time.
Faculty support endowments are another vital resource to our academic programs. These prestigious endowments, including chairs, professorships and faculty fellowships, allow us to recruit and retain the most talented teachers and researchers.
For information about planned gifts and endowments, please contact:
Associate Director of Development
College of Natural Sciences
ph: (512) 475-8875 | fax: (512) 471-4998
He will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding endowments or planned gifts at the University.
