Funding Opportunities

Student Enrichment Awards

Texas Parents is proud to offer Student Enrichment Awards (formerly know as Student Enrichment Grants). Awards are given each spring to a variety of registered student organizations and departments within the Division of Student Affairs with the goal of providing funding assistance to applicants who are most successfully working to enhance the student experience at The University of Texas at Austin. Funding is made possible through the contributions and generous donations of university parents to the Texas Parents Giving Program.

Last year, the maximum award given to a single organization was $1,500. Average funding for individual organizations was between $300 and $500.
