Sponsored Student Welcome

Kick off your UT Austin journey with a warm welcome from International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) advisors! This special event is your chance to meet fellow new sponsored students, get to know the team supporting you, and hear firsthand insights from current sponsored students who know exactly what it’s like to start out at UT. You’ll enjoy a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where you can ask questions, make connections, and start building your Longhorn community.

This welcome event is specially for degree-seeking students who are sponsored by a U.S. or foreign government or other foreign entity during their time at UT Austin.
