Texas Exes Endowed Scholarship Here is an opportunity to benefit yourself with a tax deduction, our Chicago Texas Exes Chapter, outstanding Chicagoland students, and The University of Texas at Austin. As you may know, many UT alumni spend a few years in Chicago, then move on to their next destination. This transitional nature of our chapter¹s membership has made it challenging for the volunteer leadership of the chapter to establish an endowed scholarship fund.

An endowed scholarship fund is simply an investment account that The Texas Exes, UT¹s independent alumni association, manages in Austin on behalf of the Texas Exes chapter for which it is established. You may be aware of the hundreds of endowment funds held for many other Texas Exes chapters. It¹s time the Chicago Texas Exes chapter had one: don¹t you agree?

Having an endowed scholarship fund will help ensure that we are able to provide at least one scholarship every year to a deserving Chicagoland high school graduate. Yes, the chapter¹s Texas Independence Day celebration will remain a strong local fundraising event as long as there are volunteers who step forward to make it happen. Our endowed scholarship fund will permanently establish our presence here in the Midwest. It will make sure that our goals, providing Chicago Texas Exes a connection with UT Austin, and helping recruit the best and brightest students for our alma mater, are always met.

Please make a contribution today! You may do so by check made out to Chicago Texas Exes or credit card. Our mailing address is PO Box 577996 Chicago, IL 60657-7996

Your contributions will be kept in a separate chapter account until we reach the required $7,500.00 for Austin to take over the fund management.

Your thank you letter listing the Texas Exes¹ federal tax identification number will serve as your receipt for tax deduction purposes. The Chicago Texas Exes Endowment Fund will reflect honorably on our chapter and on all who care about The University.
