Although the University of Houston is a state-assisted university, only a portion of the college's budget comes from state money. The college counts on private support from individuals, corporations and foundations to allow the college to provide its students with up-to-date classrooms, laboratories, computer technology and scholarships.
Online College of Pharmacy benefactors have a convenient, fast and secure way to give. You may make a gift using your credit card by completing a safe and secure online gift form. You may also use this form to make a pledge.
Annual gifts are given each year by alumni and friends to support continuing programs at the College. Many times these gifts will be solicited via a telephone call from a student or a letter from the dean. These gifts are the cornerstone of the College’s fundraising efforts and provide a foundation for students and faculty. Often, these funds are used for student scholarships, travel to professional meetings, field trips, and classroom equipment.

Some individuals and corporations give annual scholarships that are named for their family, association, foundation, or corporation. With a minimum gift of $500, an annual scholarship can be awarded to a deserving student selected by the College’s scholarship committee. Donors are invited to the annual Scholarship 50 Luncheon held each fall to meet their scholarship recipients.
