University of Texas at Austin

Jim Vick Scholarship

Former Vice President for Student Affairs Jim Vick led with integrity, service and a commitment to putting students first — from his time on campus until his passing in 2023. The University of Texas is honoring his legacy with the Dr. James W. Vick Endowed Scholarship for Student Leaders.

Established by his wife Niki in 2024, this scholarship recognizes Longhorns who help transform lives for the benefit of society. It celebrates integrity, service and a drive to build a stronger UT community — just as Vick did as a mathematics professor and Vice President for Student Affairs.

Applications for this scholarship will reopen in Spring 2027.
