Philanthropic support of UTPA plays a vital role in continuing excellence for our University. With the support of our friends and alumni we can become an even greater institution. We believe in giving back, and with the help of your gift, UTPA can continue to influence lives for generations to come.

You can choose how you want to designate your donation – an endowment for students, faculty or your favorite program; campus improvements; outreach programs; or any one of UTPA’s leading areas of research. Thank you for your interest and involvement in UTPA.

Portrait of Philanthropy

Rick and Diane Teter A 'Xanadu state of mind'

Rick and Diane Teter
Filled with a tremendous zest for life and a deep appreciation for the Rio Grande Valley, Rick and Diane Teter want to help others in the Valley turn their dreams into adventures. When Rick and Diane recently met with their attorney to update their estate plan, they chose to leave half of their estate to The University of Texas-Pan American Foundation to create the Xanadu R&D Nursing Scholarship Endowment. Why? Because they want to provide opportunities for experienced nurses to enhance their careers by returning to college to earn advanced nursing degrees. The Teters hope their legacy will help improve the quality of life for scholarship recipients at The University of Texas-Pan American and the patients and communities in which those nurses will serve.
