Generation After Generation.

Alex and Victoria Salazar describe their son, Alex, as the “perfect child for amateur parents.” Alex excelled in academics early on, and despite having other options for college, he always knew UTEP was the place for him. His parents had raised him to love UTEP as much as they did.

Having been a scholarship recipient himself, Alex often talked about creating a scholarship and paving the way for others.  Alex was a visionary, he had great plans to help the El Paso Community. To this day, he remains his parents' inspiration. 

The Dr. Alex Salazar M.D. Endowed Scholarship was established by his parents, Victoria Salazar, M.A. and Alejandro Salazar, M.P.A., and friends to honor his extraordinary life.  As well as, his unconditional dedication, love and care for his parents, his son and his friends. This endowed scholarship celebrates his outstanding accomplishments in medicine, his exemplary and generous commitment to the community and all of his noble causes. Future generations of pre-med students in the College of Science will benefit from his rich legacy.
