About Maverick Discount Program

In 2024, The University of Texas at Arlington achieved an all-time high enrollment of more than 41,000 students. Over 4,000 benefits-eligible faculty and staff work at UT Arlington, and more than 270,000 alumni have graduated from the university. As a whole, the university contributes over $1.7 billion annually to the North Texas economy. This figure includes the buying power of our students, employees, and their families.

The Maverick Discount Program at UT Arlington creates opportunities for businesses to connect with these potential customers by offering local businesses and national brands a vehicle for offering discounts on products and services to UT Arlington students, faculty, staff, UTA Retirees, UTA Alumni Member card holders, members of the Parent and Family Association.

The UT Arlington Student Government created the Maverick Discount Program in 1993. Today, Student Government partners with the Office of Talent, Culture, and Engagement to strengthen and expand the program, offering the university and its business partners new tools for communicating with each other.

How it Works

Students, faculty, staff, UTA Retirees, UTA Alumni Member card holders, and Parents and Family Association members can utilize Maverick Discount Program discounts by simply showing their Maverick ID to local business participants or by using a unique UT Arlington discount code to shop online. Business participants must provide a minimum 10% discount to participate in the program, so being a Maverick also means saving on a large variety of products and services.

The Maverick Discount Program offer discounts from six different product and service categories: automotive, entertainment, personal care, online only, restaurants, and retail. Most discounts are available to all students, faculty, staff, UTA Retirees, and parents; a few are offered only to students or only to employees. Be sure to check this website regularly to see what new discounts are available to you.

We are always looking for new businesses willing to provide discounts that meet the Maverick Discount Program criteria, will be popular with our UT Arlington community, and will benefit from reaching our customer base. Businesses who are interested in joining the program can sign up quickly and easily online.

Students, faculty, staff, UTA Retirees, alumni, and parents are also welcome to offer suggestions of businesses they'd like to see get involved. Just let us know and we will invite those businesses to join the Maverick Discount Program. Happy saving!
