Scholarships and Grants

Our office manages and supports a variety of financial awards to recognize excellence among our students and support campus community projects.

Bonfire Scholarship

The Bonfire Scholarship was created to honor the compassion and solidarity UT Austin students and faculty showed following the 1999 bonfire tragedy. On the tragedy's first anniversary in 2000, UT Austin darkened its Tower and displayed orange, white and maroon ribbons in campus trees in remembrance.

Sean N. Bourgeois Memorial Endowed Scholarship

Established in honor of former Longhorn Hellraiser and engineering student, Sean N. Bourgeois, the Sean N. Bourgeois Memorial Endowed Scholarship recognizes a deserving student at The University of Texas at Austin who exemplifies qualities exuded by Sean: university spirit and campus involvement. A member of Longhorn Hellraisers will receive first preference, and second preference will be given to a student majoring in engineering.
