Raise Your Pick Giving Day 2023

If you missed the chance to give during Raise Your Pick Giving Day and are interested in supporting our Centennial Campaign, please CLICK HERE.

The Woman’s Auxiliary of The University of Texas at El Paso was established in 1914 to raise funds in support of the University. In 2024, we will be celebrating our Centennial Anniversary – 100 years of conducting projects for the continued support of as many UTEP students as possible, to fulfill their dreams of a college education. 

UTEP is shaping the future for many students, and as it continues to grow, so must our commitment to providing scholarship support for deserving students. The generous support of Auxiliary members and community donors is essential in ensuring educational opportunities for as many students as possible.

In celebration of our Centennial in 2024 we are establishing the Woman’s Auxiliary of The University of Texas at El Paso Centennial Endowed Scholarship. This endowment will provide university-wide annual scholarships in perpetuity.

We ask you to join us today, and “Raise Your Pick” to help grow this endowment to $100,000 in honor of our 100 years of service to UTEP and the students we serve. 

THE HISTORY OF THE WOMAN’S AUXILIARY

The Woman’s Auxiliary of The University of Texas at El Paso has been an important source of support for the UTEP community for nearly 100 years. In the early years, they played a key role in the organization of the University band and provided financial support to cover the salary of the band instructor and band uniforms. Their contributions have expanded to provide academic and athletic scholarships, including both undergraduate and graduate students. Beyond scholarship support, they have provided funds for the University Library and have established four endowments. The Woman’s Auxiliary has also funded numerous other initiatives and needs the University has had over the years, including the El Paso Centennial Museum on campus in celebration of the Texas Centennial.
