2019–20 Annual Report

 
 

Student Success

Students pursuing degrees at the University of Houston face many challenges — some they may find insurmountable. But the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Services is dedicated to helping students succeed, all the way from enrollment to graduation.

We advocate for everyone from future Coogs to those who have joined the UH community. We also help with scholarships, financial aid, and employment, while also providing academic opportunities that will empower students — especially those more vulnerable populations — to achieve academic, personal and professional success.

Year 1: Diamond Family Scholars starts off with a success

The inaugural class of Diamond Family Scholars celebrated the first year of the program in style with a trip to New York City — just as COVID-19 began to spread across the United States. The first cohort, made up of six students from Texas, may have found their spring break trip disrupted by a global pandemic, but it couldn’t stop their excitement — or enthusiasm for the program that is transforming their lives.
