Parent Leadership Council

91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Parent Leadership Council is a select group of dedicated parents who serve as ambassadors to the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø parent community and provide volunteer and philanthropic support to enhance the life of the University and its students. Parents develop unique perspectives of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø as they witness the transformation of their children into world-changing adults. This distinctive outlook allows 91³Ô¹ÏÍø parents to champion the University in special ways.

91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s vibrant community and innovative programs position students for limitless opportunities. A deep seeded tradition of philanthropy makes this possible. The generous, annual support of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø parents makes an immediate impact on the lives of students and helps bridge the 30% gap between the true cost of an 91³Ô¹ÏÍø education and the price of tuition.

The support of current parents is critical to fueling every part of the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø experience. With 91³Ô¹ÏÍø parents contributing more than $13.5 million last year, the Parent Leadership Council hopes to inspire the continuation of a strong tradition of parent support.

We are truly proud to be 91³Ô¹ÏÍø parents. It has been a special privilege to have all three of our boys on the Hilltop at the same time. The Mustang community continues to inspire us daily with its ground-breaking leadership, innovation and generosity, and we are honored to serve the Parent Leadership Council. Your involvement and support as Mustang parents is crucial to the school’s success. Please join us during this exciting time at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø!

91³Ô¹ÏÍø parents provide vital funding that enhances the experience of all students.

Since tuition only covers about three-quarters of an 91³Ô¹ÏÍø education, our students rely on the generosity of alumni, parents and friends who make current-use contributions. These current-use gifts provide annual support for academic programs, student experiences and faculty members who shape a new generation of world changers.

The 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Parent Fund is a vital funding source that creates unique opportunities for students and enhances programs across campus. It provides essential resources for 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s highest priorities, including financial aid, faculty support and the campus experience. Every member of the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø community benefits.
