Alumni Association Scholarships

Since its inception, the UTEP Alumni Association has made it its mission to support UTEP students in their academic endeavors. Alumni Association efforts became realized when it granted its first annual scholarship of $150.00. Look forward decades later, today, the Alumni Association continues to go strong in its philanthropic spirit of giving back and currently awards ten (10) student scholarships a year.

On Raise Your Pick UTEP Giving Day, we are asking proud fellow alumni and the community to support the efforts of the association and give back to this important tradition of philanthropy and supporting the dreams of current and future UTEP students to receive access to an excellent education.

We hope we can count on your support, to join us on this important day and raise your pick for all UTEP students on April 12! Remember, we are Miners Today, Alumni Tomorrow, and Miners Forever! Thank you for your contribution and support.
