Alumni Association Program Endowment

The Alumni Association Program Endowment was created to provide funds for use in faculty, student and staff programmatic development other than scholarships. This endowment has funded several university programs and student organization initiatives that would not have been possible without the help of these funds.

For the coming year, completed proposals are due by 5 p.m. on September 22, 2024 and January 22, 2025.

All proposals must be submitted electronically to alumni@uhcl.edu. Award winners will be announced within six weeks of submission deadline.
