Stay in touch
With hundreds of chapters and networks on every continent except Antarctica (we’re still working on that one!), the Alcalde Magazine, and more, members stay engaged with UT and their fellow Longhorns. No matter how far from the Forty Acres you may be, you’ll always feel close to home.
Pay it forward
From advice navigating campus to career tips, Texas Exes members are amazing mentors for UT students. We provide programming to connect alumni to current students—after all, who makes a better role model than a Longhorn?
Help us recruit the very best
Since awarding our first $100 scholarship in 1899, the Texas Exes’ scholarship program has become one of the largest alumni association programs in the country. In the 2017-18 school year, we awarded a whopping $3.9 million to 650 UT students! Our Forty Acres Scholars Program, UT Austin’s premier, full-ride, merit-based scholarship, gives the university a competitive edge when it comes to attracting the nation’s most talented students to Texas.
Show off your pride
From our famous car decals and keytags to our official University of Texas Class Rings, Texas Exes are UT’s most loyal supporters and we want the world to know. In fact, research has shown that nearly 65% of the people who give to UT are members of the Texas Exes.
