About
The Neighborhood Longhorns Program (NLP) is the premier educational outreach program for The University of Texas at Austin offering 2nd through 8th graders in Title I schools the opportunity to envision attending college through incentives and scholarships. This is achieved through the involvement of UT students, volunteers and staff that provide tutoring and mentoring in participating Central Texas schools.The program serves 5,500 students in 40 elementary and middle schools who are at higher risks of experiencing academic difficulties, including low grade performance, low performance on tests, low school attendance and higher rates of dropping out of school.
During the academic year, the program seeks UT Austin students to provide tutoring and other volunteer support on campus and at elementary and middle schools throughout the community.
