The University of North Texas (UNT) has announced a $3 million gift from Satish and Yasmin Gupta to support student scholarships and establish a career center at UNT at Frisco.

The first endowed gift entrusted to UNT’s branch campus in Collin County will create the Satish and Yasmin Gupta Career Center at Frisco Landing. Gupta is the founder, president, and CEO of SB International, a privately held steel company headquartered in Dallas. He is also founder of the Gupta Agarwal Charitable Foundation, which contributes to organizations in the Dallas area to advance education, public health, medical research, and cultural initiatives.

“Yasmin and I are honored to contribute to UNT at Frisco’s vision of fostering student success,” said Gupta. “We believe that education should go beyond classrooms, and we’re proud that the Satish and Yasmin Gupta Career Center will represent our commitment to UNT students and help equip them with the necessary tools and experiences to excel in their chosen fields.”

“This transformative gift from Satish and Yasmin Gupta will serve as a catalyst in our ongoing mission to extend UNT at Frisco’s reach and impact, enabling us to serve a greater number of students in North Texas and foster stronger connections between higher education and industry to best support industry needs and our students’ career aspirations,” said UNT president Neal Smatresk. “With this visionary support, we can provide even more scholarships, cutting-edge programs, and immersive learning opportunities for our students.”
