Our Mission: To Cultivate Engaged Citizens and Impact lives  

UT Permian Basin is giving back to students—one class at a time. We’re proud to offer a Public Service Graduate Scholarship to students who will one day serve their communities as educators or public administrators.  

The Public Service Graduate Scholarship awards $500 to new admits starting an eligible online graduate program in Fall 2022. This award amount is applied to the first course students enroll in at our University, easing the start of their graduate studies.  

Never taken an online class before? Undecided on a graduate program? This is your opportunity to experience an online graduate program without having to pay the full cost of a course.
