MAVERICK PARENT & FAMILY ASSOCIATION STUDENT BENEFITS
When you purchase a membership into the Maverick Parent & Family Association (MPFA), not only are you contributing to the overall success of all students across campus, but your membership affords your UTA student three direct benefits. Testing Materials, Student Leadership Positions and Scholarship Opportunities. Read more about these benefits below.
Academic Success Packs
Students of MPFA members have the opportunity to pick up Academic Success Packs at the beginning of each semester. Dates, Times, and Locations for Academic Success Days will be posted in the Maverick Family Portal. Families can share that information with their student so they can choose a day to pick up their Packs. The Academic Success Packs include school supplies, snacks, and UTA gifts courtesy of the Parent & Family Services and other campus departments. Students will have the opportunity to select the scantrons and blue books they need for the semester.Student Leadership Positions
The Office of Parent & Family Services offers MPFA students the chance to develop their leadership skills through student leadership positions during Parent & Family Services programs and events throughout the year.
