Help Support the Bass School Student Emergency Fund

Because Every Student Deserves to Finish Their Act

At the Bass School, students are creators, innovators, and storytellers. They pour their hearts into performances, exhibitions, games, and research that shape their futures and enrich the cultural life of UT Dallas.

Sometimes, an unexpected crisis can bring that momentum to a halt. A broken instrument, a medical bill, a car that will not start, or the loss of safe housing can prevent a student from completing their project, performing on stage, or staying enrolled.

Did you know, nearly 64% of college students in Texas would struggle to cover a $500 emergency*, showing how fragile a student’s path can be. The Bass School Student Emergency Fund ensures no student’s story ends because of unforeseen financial setbacks. A gift from you provides a lifeline that allows students to stay focused on their education and future.
