UTeach continues to educate future math and science teachers in Texas and beyond. Our students are the best and the brightest from the College of Natural Sciences and other colleges at The University of Texas at Austin.
You can support UTeach Austin with funding for internships, scholarships, UTeach Maker, and UTeach Outreach, or you can make a sustaining gift of any size to support innovative programs, urgent priorities, and other opportunities that arise during the academic year.
