You Make UT Great
What starts here changes the world. What starts here starts with you.
Longhorn Loyal recognizes The University of Texas at Austin’s most dedicated supporters. Students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents and friends who have made gifts in each of the three most recent fiscal years (between Sept. 1–Aug. 31) receive a membership to honor their loyalty and recognize their giving leadership. Longhorn Loyal members have collectively given more than $2 billion to UT in the last half century — an incredible show of support that is helping UT become the world’s highest-impact public research university.
Thank you for your loyalty.
When our parents passed away, we wanted to honor their legacy, give back to our rural Texas community and enable others to have the opportunities we had for a college education unencumbered by debt. Establishing scholarships at UT allowed us to help students find their passions and attend one of the best universities in the world while reducing the stresses associated with college affordability.”
