Since its inaugural class in 2011 of 10 scholars, the Forty Acres Scholars Program, administered by the Texas Exes, has grown into one of the most elite and competitive scholarships in the country. The premier full-ride, merit-based program for The University of Texas at Austin, is unique in its dedication to a close-knit and diverse cohort community, and the access it gives scholars to successful alumni. Not only does the program significantly raise the prestige of the university, it develops a community of students who will become dedicated alumni themselves after graduation. For more than a century, the Texas Exes has been awarding scholarships that are far more than just a check. We take great pride in supporting the education of these talented young people and guiding them through their time on campus. Forty Acres Scholars are dynamic leaders who go out and change the world, while staying closely connected and engaged with their alma mater. In just a few short years the program has truly been transformative for the association and the university. As another graduating class of scholars begins their professional lives, the program will welcome the Class of 2021 who stand out by excelling academically, leading their peers, and making meaningful contributions to their communities. All of us at the Texas Exes wish to thank the donors and volunteers who have helped this program make such a profound impact on campus and beyond. The following is a summary of another successful year for this growing program. We look forward to many, many more! program highlights

*Funding not provided by the enrichment stipend enrichment stipend

Forty Acres Scholars have a world of opportunity at their feet. Scholars receive a $13,000 stipend for at least one enrichment activity during their UT career. These funds allow them to attend conferences, conduct original research, gain work experience through internships, serve in volunteer positions, and study abroad. Each scholar designs an experience best suited to his or her individual goals.

These amazing experiences transform scholars’ lives, challenging them to excel outside the Forty Acres and accelerating their personal and professional growth. Recently, scholars have studied history in Spain, conducted biochemical research in Italy, played the oboe in Japan, and much more.

“It was the most enlightening and inspiring experience. Growing up in South Texas, a medically-underserved area in the U.S., I have always had an innate desire to one day practice medicine in areas of greatest need. Volunteering with Global Medical Training truly expanded my perspective and spurred my passion. Now, more than ever, I am inspired to make a positive, widespread impact through medicine and prevention—both close to home and afar.”

KATIE MARK – STUDY ABROAD IN EUROPE

“Studying abroad was an absolutely fantastic experience. As an architecture student, it enriched my understanding of space in a way that 3D models and drawings sampling can’t cap- ture. Traveling to so many countries and learning about their respective cultures significantly broadened my perspective of the world, taught me to empathize more readily, and further stimulated my intellectual curiosity. I will cherish the memo- ries from this semester long after graduation!” current scholars
