Awarding Excellence in the UT Community
Since its founding in 1948 as the Dad's Association, Texas Parents has been an important part of the life and culture of the University. One of the department's objectives is to recognize and honor outstanding University students, faculty and staff as appropriate through scholarships, awards and endowments. These awards are made possible in part because of the generous donations of Longhorn parents/families.
