Division of University Advancement 

Powering the Patriot Community

When we rise as one at The University of Texas at Tyler, we empower today’s and tomorrow’s Patriots in pursuit of their futures through scholarships, other funding opportunities and engaging academic and experiential programs. These efforts help cover the cost of tuition and reflect our commitment to providing an affordable, applied education, paving the way to opportunity and equipping our students to uplift the East Texas region and beyond.

The Division of University Advancement plans and coordinates these initiatives — from managing and allocating donations to holding events that fund institutional scholarships. Learn more about who we are, what we do, and how we promote student success and increase UT Tyler’s visibility.
