LBJ School of Public Affairs
A Call to Action: Give back to the LBJ School today!

As LBJ School alumni, you form the solid foundation of our entire community. Your achievements reflect the success the School has had in preparing generations of thoughtful leaders, and your annual support allows the school to continue to generate the trailblazers of tomorrow.

Currently, LBJ is second only to UT Law in alumni participation in giving back to the school. Let’s join together and be #1 this year! Gifts to the Annual Fund support the areas of greatest immediate need at the LBJ School. These current use gifts deliver critical resources to our students and faculty, provide extraordinary educational opportunities, and help the school retain its ranking as one of the best public affairs institutions in the nation. Contributing to the Annual Fund, at any level, is a powerful way to join together with fellow alumni and make a significant impact on the success of the school, year after year.

Gifts to the LBJ School Annual Fund help to:

  • Provide fellowship support to make graduate education affordable for ambitious and motivated students.
  • Foster a dynamic and inspiring learning environment distinguished by faculty members who are respected scholars and practitioners in their fields.
  • Support research that is informed by scholarly and practical policy communities.
  • Ensure professional development and educational travel opportunities for LBJ students and faculty.
