Wave of the Future Campaign Scholarships Student scholarships are the highest priority for The Wave of the Future campaign. Scholarships allow the University to attract the best and brightest high school, transfer and graduate students from around the state. We can improve the quality of life for the region well into the future by providing our youth with the education they need to rise to the challenges of the future. If we don't, demographers have some sobering predictions for the South Texas of the next century-a deteriorating economy, skyrocketing poverty and escalating social ills.
Education is the key to solving such problems before they become unmanageable.
Over the past decade, federal and state government financial assistance to students and their parents has declined. Our University is a role model for our community. Our private support for scholarships is key to helping our youth achieve a college degree. It is the hope for the future.
