You might also consider contacting the department directly to discuss ways to support our students, to foster graduate student and faculty research, to keep us the kind of department you can be proud of.

Margaret Surratt Endowed Scholarship
in Communication Studies

Margaret Surratt first came to work in the College of Communication in August of 1969, just months after earning her bachelors degree in history at UT Austin. Margaret first served as a student advisor in the College of Communication and moved to the Department of Communication Studies in 1971. Margaret is that rare kind of individual who never forgets why the University exists: to serve students. Margaret has been a housemother and confidante to four decades of students and has instilled her spirit of service throughout the College.

Distributions from this endowment will be used to support a scholarship for students enrolled in the Department of Communication Studies who have financial need and are in good academic standing.

It is an honor for Alumni and friends of the College to pay tribute to Margaret’s 40 years of laudatory service with an Endowed Scholarship in her name.

Contributions to the endowment may be made at the following:
