The University of Texas at Arlington Alumni Association established the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1965. The purpose of the annual Distinguished Alumni Awards is to recognize outstanding alumni for their individual achievements, contributions to their industries or professions, service to their community and demonstrated loyalty to The University of Texas at Arlington. In addition to the general Distinguished Alumni Award, a Distinguished International Alumni Award, a Service Award and Honorary Award are also presented. The Distinguished Alumni Awards are the highest honor given by the University and Alumni Association. The award is presented at the annual Distinguished Alumni Gala. This special evening not only honors exceptional alumni, but also generates significant scholarship funds for students.
