The International Center

The International Center brings the world to UT Dallas and UT Dallas to the world.

Life-changing opportunities start with access, and you can help make them possible. Your support can help create meaningful opportunities for students when it matters most.

At A Glance
The International Center expands global access and opportunity across UT Dallas.

Through six key units, we support international students and scholars, create global learning experiences, and connect the UT Dallas community with the world:
 • International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO)
 • Office of International Education (OIE)
 • Office of Immigrant and Citizenship Services (OICS)
 • Passport Office
 • International Initiatives
 • UTD Global

Your support helps students succeed, removes barriers, and builds a globally connected campus.

In our 10-year history, the International Center has served thousands of students representing more than 100 countries.

Global Impact Fund

The Global Impact Fund advances student success and global engagement by providing flexible, responsive support across a range of international and global initiatives. This fund also includes the UT Dallas International Student Emergency Fund.

Students often face barriers at multiple points in their journey, from application costs and limited funding access to financial, medical or personal emergencies while enrolled.

The Global Impact Fund helps students start strong, stay enrolled and continue toward their academic, professional and global goals.

Your support helps:
 • Cover urgent immigration and application expenses
 • Support post-graduation pathways, including work authorization
 • Assist with emergency medical expenses and basic needs
 • Prevent course interruptions due to financial hardship
 • Provide recovery support after unexpected crises
 • Advance global initiatives that expand access and impact

Without this support, students may be forced to pause or leave school. With it, they stay on track, continuing to learn, contribute and build their future in an interconnected world.
