UNT Day of Giving 2026

UNT Day of Giving has created opportunities for so many students in the College of Public Affairs and Health Science since its inception. By providing much-needed funding to the UNT ELEVAR Program, donors have made it possible for students with intellectual disability to experience higher education and all the programs and activities that UNT students enjoy. We're excited to celebrate the graduation of UNT ELEVAR's first cohort this spring. 

By contributing to our student scholarships, donors have given opportunities to students who may otherwise not have been able to attend college. In PAHS, we are proud to have a high number of first-generation students, and being one myself, I know personally how transformative higher education can be, and how even the smallest contribution to a student's success allows them to overcome barriers and accomplish their dreams. Donors' generous support truly changes the trajectory of our students' lives.
