Giving to the School of Health Professions
Make an Enduring Investment in a Healthier Tomorrow
Do you want to change the world today — and for years to come? Endowments are a meaningful way your generosity can improve the health of the public for generations.
Regular distributions from your endowment will provide a reliable, ongoing source of financial support that funds the work you care about most, forever.
Currently, approximately 25% of our students receive scholarships. Our goal is to double that number, building our base of endowments to award scholarships to half our students.
By creating new scholarship endowments, UTMB friends and alumni can make a powerful investment in the future of health care careers.
Endowments at a Glance
Ready to make a difference? You can create an endowment that supports students, faculty, programs, research, or trainees.
Student Support
You can be part of the future of health care when you choose to support students. A scholarship or fellowship will change lives — and help to train compassionate, dedicated health professionals for our communities.
"Being
a scholarship recipient means that not only have I been able to prove my academic accomplishments to myself and my family, but that I also have generous donors who support and believe in my craft as a student and future practitioner. After graduation,
I plan to practice occupational therapy in Texas, where I can contribute to the community that has been supportive of me and my endeavors throughout my life."

Program Support
Gifts to support program priorities have a wide-reaching impact. You will become a partner with students and faculty in advancing the health profession you care about most: conducting research projects, collaborating with their peers, publishing their
work, and more.
Faculty Support
Chairs and professorships help attract and retain top faculty — and give them the resources they need to advance the way we understand, prevent, diagnose, and provide health care. These named gifts can be a special tribute to a faculty member or
someone else who is important to you.
Research Support
The School of Health Professions is tackling the greatest challenges to human health — and it all begins with research. Your support helps our faculty develop and conduct scientific research, publish their findings, and advance health care for everyone,
everywhere.
