Scholarship Ball
Save the Date
The University of Texas Permian Basin is excited to host the annual Scholarship Ball on Thursday, October 29, 2026 to raise money for our General Scholarship Fund. These dollars support all students at UT Permian Basin. More than 90% of enrolled students at UTPB are eligible for scholarship funds, and many students depend on these dollars to complete their college degrees. All proceeds from the Scholarship Ball support this important initiative.
Each year at the Scholarship Ball we will honor the recipients of our Distinguished Alumni Award, the Distinguished Young Alumni Award, Community Partners Award, and the Lissa Wagner Excellence Award.
