2023 Emergency Support Funds

Give students the financial security to remove unexpected hurdles!

It's time to rally and rise because the Battle of the Birds is ON!

Our goal? To have more philanthropic support for our students and university than UTSA does for theirs. From October 27 until the clock strikes midnight on November 4, we have the opportunity to join in generosity and be change-makers in our students' lives. We can help provide them with the resources they need, both inside and outside the classroom, ensuring they soar to incredible heights!

$10,000 hangs in the balance! It'll go to the university with the most support from their donors during the challenge period. Are you ready to join us in making history?

When you support any one of the emergency funds listed below, you make an immediate impact and help ensure that our students have the financial security to remove unexpected hurdles and continue on their educational journey. Furthermore, you help show UTSA that UNT is bursting with pride for our university! 


College of Education Student Emergency Fund - Support College of Education students in financial crisis. The goal of this fund is to keep students in financial crisis enrolled and progressing toward their degrees.

Student Wellness Fund - Helps College of Music students address unanticipated medical needs, thereby allowing them to stay in school rather than drop out. This is a crucial aspect of our student retention priorities.

Better Together Fund - Provides a financial last-line-of-defense to keep Journalism students in school and ensure that they can continue achieving their educational goals

Alice Cruden Evenson and Herbena Nygard Fund - This fund aims to provide financial support when College of Health and Public Service students need assistance with unexpected, unforeseen and unavoidable emergency expenses that interrupt their ability to complete the semester or their degree.

International Student Emergency Fund - Provides support for students facing a financial emergency due to natural disasters or economic hardships in their home countries.


Every gift of every size makes a difference for our students and our university. Give today in celebration of our exceptional Mean Green family.
