Friends and Family of the
University (FOU)
The University of Houston-Victoria is committed to shaping the future of
our region by providing high quality education. Through your contribution to
the Friends and Family of the University (FOU) annual fund campaign, you can
help shape the future of students as well as the community.
Your contribution helps UHV continue to provide an environment in which students
prosper. FOU is your opportunity to help shape the future by allowing UHV to
provide the high quality education and programs this region has come to expect. Together, we can make the future of this region bright with endless
possibilities.
Friends and Family of the University Annual Fund Campaign (FOU)
You too can make a difference by making your tax-deductible donation to UHV’s
FOU campaign today! Your important gift will help to support initiatives such as
development, Letting Education Achieve Dreams (LEAD), and scholarships:
Development
Donors are often lifesavers for
students and faculty of the university. Your contribution to UHV can help a
student purchase textbooks; enable a working mother with two children also
attending college, to realize her dream of earning a college degree; or allow
faculty to conduct research and convene with their peers, thus enhancing the
classroom experience. Your generous donations ensure that education in our
region continues to prosper and grow.
Letting
Education Achieve Dreams
UHV launched the Letting
Education Achieve Dreams (LEAD) initiative in 1999 to reach out to area
students and educate them that college is affordable, accessible, and
attainable. Generous support of university campaigns like FOU has made it
possible for LEAD to bring more than 2,000 area students to visit campus; host
special events emphasizing the importance of education for more than 1,000
students at 75 schools; conducts forums for 90 community leaders; develop 45
school or district partnerships and 3 community partnerships; train 98
mentors; and train and send Student Ambassadors to 12 school districts in the
region. UHV is a catalyst for uniting this region in a cohesive and
well-directed effort to raise the education achievement level in the 15-
county area we serve.
Scholarships
Your generous donation to
scholarships doesn’t end with the individual recipient… it’s only the
beginning. For many students, scholarships make obtaining higher education
possible by financing tuition, textbook purchases, and childcare. Every day,
gifts to the university allow our students to achieve their goals and realize
their dreams.
Your gift
extends beyond the individual recipient, however. Once a student achieves his
educational goals and enters the workforce, your gift then strengthens the
entire region’s economy.
