Charitable Donors Create Student Housing
Alamito and Cibolo Residence Halls
The Next is Now campaign transformed Texas State University’s landscape. Support from over 53,000 donors has allowed for the university to keep up with our growing classes. In August 2024, the largest freshman class in the university’s 125-year history stepped on campus – with over 40,000 students. To accommodate the growth, two beautiful new residence halls were built and had an opening ceremony last month.
Collectively, Alamito and Cibolo Residence Halls added approximately 1,000 new living spaces for students. By enhancing student life, supporting academic success, and promoting inclusivity, these new facilities contribute to a more dynamic, engaging, and supportive educational environment.
By opening these buildings, we are making more room for students who will be transformed BY our campus and transformative FOR our campus.

Student Housing Scholarships
Donors play a crucial role in this transformation by contributing to scholarships that offer funding for living expenses, enabling more students to benefit from these new housing opportunities and focus on their studies without financial stress. Their generosity helps shape the future of Texas State University and its students.
As our student populations grow and our enrollment numbers increase, new residence halls and new housing opportunities play a crucial role in the student experience at TXST. Many students need assistance with housing expenses. Generous donors make an impact by supporting housing scholarships.

I have worked alongside a great community here at Texas State including working with the Department of Housing and Residential Life, working with the University Ambassadors, and working with my department to achieve my goals that will help me become a successful individual. I applied for this scholarship in hopes of being able to help my family financially and cannot thank you enough for the impact you have had on my family and me.

Working as a Graduate Residence Director has given me direct experience working alongside students and inspires me to assist them in their leadership growth within the position. When reading about Susan Dudolski, I was deeply inspired by her work and commitment to fostering community and advocating for social justice as it resonates deeply with me. I aspire to follow in Susan’s footsteps by advocating for my future students, creating inclusive campus environments, and empowering them.

Your generous support through the SpawGlass STEM Living-Learning Community Scholarship represents far more than financial aid; it symbolizes opportunity. With this award, I am closer to fulfilling my dream of pursuing a degree in industrial engineering. As a Latina woman venturing into a STEM field, I’m aware of the significance of representation and empowerment. Your investment in my future not only strengthened my academic pursuit but also served as a testament to God’s blessing in my life.
