Annual Scholarships

A scholarship opportunity is the deciding factor for many students as they choose to continue their education or enroll in college for the first time. Scholarships are vital to Texas Woman’s with 72% of students receiving some form of federal, state or scholarship aid. Annual scholarship gifts from individuals, corporations and civic groups work to fill the financial aid gap and can start at $1,000.

Redbud Society

The TWU Redbud Society recognizes loyal members of the Pioneer family for their dedicated support to the university. Thanks to their generosity, we have the resources to fund a wide range of programs, student scholarships and groundbreaking research. Donors become eligible for society membership after they have made a gift to TWU for two consecutive years.

Faculty & Staff Giving

TWU employees are one of the university’s greatest resources. Employees can extend contributions to include philanthropy by making a one-time donation or by establishing a payroll deduction to support any area of the university. Giving back directly to Texas Woman’s ensures 100% of the gift makes an impact.

Crowdfunding

PioneerFunder is a crowdfunding platform created to help TWU Pioneers across all three campuses raise money so their ideas and passions can come to life. Crowdfunding is an important way to connect registered student organizations, faculty and staff with innovative ideas and meaningful projects to alumni, friends and community members who may be interested in supporting them. Your support directly impacts these initiatives when you give to a PioneerFunder campaign.
