Scholarship Ball

The University of Texas Permian Basin is excited to host the annual Scholarship Ball on Thursday, October 23, 2025 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.
