Alumni and UTD supporters help play a tremendous role helping support students and enabling vital services to meet the needs of our students.
Did you know that UTD conducts a Basic Needs Survey of it’s students? This critical tool allows UTD to learn more about student well-being and allocate resources where most needed. For example, 16% of respondents reported needing to miss or underpay rent in the previous year, 37% reported needing to borrow money from friends or family to cover an unexpected cost and 31% reported skipping a meal or being worried about where they would find their next meal.
This Comets Giving Days, we're excited to share several generous challenges with our most fearless Comets Giving Days supporters.
For every 25 donors who give to one of the student support initiatives – Comet Cupboard, Student Emergency Fund, Basic Needs Resource Center and/or the International Student Emergency Fund – an additional $250 will be awarded to the group.
There is no cap, so make your gift of any size and ask other Comets and friends to do the same! The funds unlock for every increment of 25 donors. There is true power in numbers this Comets Giving Days!
