Bryni’s Love Foundation
Bryni's Love Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit established in 2022 to honor the memory of Bryn Christine Howard. She was a 2017 graduate of UT-Austin with a degree in Civil Engineering and like so many, she struggled with anxiety and alcohol. She was a beautiful soul and is dearly missed. We are here to support college students with mental wellness initiatives and academic scholarships.
Our current projects are Academic Scholarships for Women in Engineering and a Wellness Space at Cockrell School of Engineering at UT-Austin.
