UST Giving Day 2020

This campaign ended on April 29, 2020, but you can still make a gift to University of St. Thomas - Houston by clicking here!

GIVING DAY is a celebration of UST’s founding and an opportunity to honor our founders’ contributions by making our own investments in the university’s future. Support a program or school that has special meaning for you, or make a contribution that will support our area of greatest need, The CeltCare Fund for students affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Like many people across the country, a great number of our students are feeling the effects of lost wages and worrying about their ability to continue their education due to the state of family finances.

The CeltCare Fund covers hardships such as the following :

  • Laptops and internet access to those students who will not otherwise be able to complete their coursework.
  • Immediate support for students facing housing challenges or food insecurity.
  • Funds for students who have lost wages or jobs they depend on to pay for their education and support themselves or their families.
  • Resources for students who need emergency medical and mental health services.

Originally created in response to Hurricane Harvey, the needs of our students drastically outweigh the the current CeltCare funds. If you are in a position to give and would like to do so, please consider supporting CeltCare.
