Texas Student Media Excellence Fund

Your support helps transform the lives of UT Austin students and train the next generation of journalists run independent, fact-based newsrooms, produce informative and entertaining print, audio and video content, and prepare communicators for success beyond graduation.

This year's Support Student Voices campaign benefits the Texas Student Media Excellence Fund. Every donation up to $1 million will be matched by TSM, doubling the impact you are making on our student-run media entities. Every gift, regardless of amount, will make a difference to students’ futures.

This initiative isn’t just about funding; it’s about creating a lasting impact. Whether it’s providing equipment, funding travel for on-the-ground coverage, enhancing professional development programs, or launching new media properties, the revenue raised through this matching endowment will be dedicated to the student media experience and preparing participants for their careers.

Over the past decade, TSM has pivoted from a story of crisis to one of resilience, innovation and growth, but at the heart of it all is our unwavering mission: to amplify and support student voices.
