Endowment History and Purpose:

The Dr. Gopal Gupta Fellowship in Computer Science was established in 2020 for the benefit of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science (Jonsson School) at The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas). Funds distributed from this endowment shall be used to attract the world’s top scholars in computer science by providing one-year fellowships to incoming master’s students who have not received a teaching or research assistantship.

Endowment Management Summary:

To ensure that endowment gifts to UT Dallas retain their value over time, The University of Texas System Board of Regents has retained The University of Texas Investment Management Company (UTIMCO), a private 501(c)(3) corporation, to manage the investment of endowment funds.

Summary of Activity:

The following student will receive a $1000 scholarship funded by this endowment. The student has a GRE score high enough to be admitted into the PhD program. Due to this scholarship, the student will receive an out-of-state tuition waiver. The savings in tuition will lead to a smaller student debt, and increase the likelihood of the student considering a future enrollment in the PhD program.
