About Senior Giving

The UNT Dallas Senior Giving initative is an opportunity for new graduates to leave their legacy on campus. A gift to a scholarship fund or school means that you are paving the way for your fellow Trailblazers to succeed - just like others have donated to help enrich the collegiate experience for you. It is important to help others succeed, so your senior gift will make achieving academic goals possible.

Gifts

All gifts of $25 or more will be counted toward the Senior Giving initative. As a token of our appreciation for your generosity, you will receive a philanthropy cord to wear with pride at commencement.

Philanthropy Cord

The philanthropy cord signifies a graduating student's philanthropic commitment helping future Trailblazers achieve their academic dreams.
