Wish UH A Happy 98th Birthday - Make Your Gift Early!
TRUE WE’LL EVER BE


Since 1940, the University of Houston Alumni Association has served as the heart of our Cougar family, connecting over 300,000 alumni, friends and supporters to the vibrant UH community. Your Giving Day support amplifies the Cougar spirit, funding student scholarships, advocating for UH’s future, expanding alumni networks and enhancing the value of every UH degree. Together, we’re building a stronger, prouder UH for generations to come!


UH CLASS RING SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The UH Class Ring is more than jewelry—it’s a proud symbol of achievement, tradition and a lifelong bond with the Cougar family. Receiving this ring marks an unforgettable milestone in every student’s journey. With your support, the UH Class Ring Scholarship Fund ensures more deserving Cougars can wear this cherished emblem of pride and accomplishment.


When $1,000 is donated to the UHAA Ring Scholarship Fund, an additional $1,000 will be unlocked—doubling the impact! Together, this provides two more students with a UH Class Ring next semester.


Support the UH Class Ring Scholarship Fund and help future Cougars celebrate their success in style!
