UH College of Education: Giving

BUILD. FUEL. TRANSFORM.

At the University of Houston College of Education, we’re building a network of students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends committed to improving educational and health outcomes for all children and families. We’re fueling a future of stronger, healthier communities in Houston and beyond. To our donors, we say thank you. Your investments transform lives.

OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE

As UH has ascended to Tier One status, the College of Education also has transformed. We've raised the rigor and relevance of our instruction and scholarship. We've grown research activity significantly, increasing grant awards, publications and citations. And we've earned national recognition from U.S. News & World Report for our graduate online education program and from the Association of Teacher Educators for our teacher-preparation program.

To accelerate to the next level, we must continue to invest in the College.

How can you help?

Scholarships help attract top students who can graduate without the burden of debt.
Endowed professorships help recruit and retain top-notch faculty.
Donations to our centers and institutes help advance research and empower the community in the areas of education and health.

Together, we can continue to transform lives.

YOUR GIFT MATTERS

WHY THEY GIVE

Professor Lee Mountain
“Scholarships help our College of Education recruit and retain top students. Many of those students hope (and deserve) to graduate without the burden of large debts.”
NFL Trainer Shone Gipson
“I wanted to be able to give something back to the College that provided so much to me. I was very fortunate that I got a scholarship while I was at the University of Houston. It helped me more than people know. I came from a background where my parents didn’t have a lot.”
Clinical Professor Sesa Edgar
“The cost of college can be overwhelming. I give to help ease the money struggle that students may endure.”
Prof. Emeritus Bob Wimpelberg
“Well-prepared educators ensure a brighter future for all of us. Supporting an educator in training at UH is an investment in our future.”
Prof. Emeritus Robert Houston
“I recognized the quality of students in the College of Education and the contributions they were making in education. It has been our privilege to contribute to their scholarships.”
