About


Giving Day is a special, 24-hour event dedicated to celebrating the spirit of generosity within our University community. It's a day when alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends come together to support the University's mission and make a lasting impact. Every gift, no matter the size, contributes to scholarships that enhance the educational experience for all of our students. By participating in Giving Day, you help ensure that our University continues to thrive and inspire future generations.

Today, the 7th Annual Giving Day is being held on Fat Tuesday, March 4, 2025, as a tribute to our Mardi Gras legacy. Like our Mardi Gras traditions, UST Giving Day brings our entire community, far and wide, together on one day in support of our University and our students.

Will you join us this Giving Day by supporting a school, center, or scholarship that is meaningful to you?
