The Parent Partnership Association (PPA) is the first and best way for you to get involved in the University community and to stay involved with your student throughout their time at the YOU of A. We promote and sponsor programs and services that involve you, the families, in the University community.

Parent Partnership Association recognizes two levels of membership—the General Member and the Cardinal Member. By having a student at the University of Arkansas, you are automatically a General Member of PPA with benefits including the Parent Handbook, monthly Razorback Parent e-Newsletters, access to the Parent hotline/email, and events like Family Weekend and Spring Family Reunion. For those of you who want more, we offer the Cardinal Membership.

Cardinal Membership in PPA includes all of the benefits mentioned above plus:

• PPA Book Scholarship opportunity for your student (this year, we awarded $1,500)
• Parent Advisory Council involvement opportunity for you
• 10% discount and early registration on Family Weekend
• 10% discount at the University Bookstore (excludes textbooks)
• $2.00 Off Lunch or Dinner at Pomfret, Brough, or Fulbright Dining Hall at the NW Quad
• “Proud Razorback Parent” Car Decal
• Parent Partnership Association Tote Bag
• Parent ID Card
• Parent Discount Card (Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Clarion, Cambria Suites, MainStay Suites, Suburban, Econo Lodge, Roadway Inn, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Hertz, National and Destination Europe)

Cardinal Membership is $55 per family mailing address, even if you have more than one student enrolled at the University of Arkansas. To register as a Cardinal Member, click here.

Top 5 Reasons to Become a PPA Cardinal Member:

1. MEMBERSHIP CARD:  You receive a Parent ID Card with your student’s picture and Student ID # on it, which helps with paying university bills and those days when you miss your student and just want to see their face.
2. PRIORITY REGISTRATION: With a limited number of football tickets available for Family Weekend, the earlier you order your packages, the better! PPA Cardinal Members can register earlier than General Members for Family Weekend packages and receive a 10% discount on each purchase.
3. SWAG:  The PPA tote bag and car decals are great ways to show your Razorback pride and support for your student.
4. DUAL BENEFITS: We offer book scholarships for students each spring semester, and you get the opportunity to serve on the Parent Advisory Council. Council involvement allows you to learn more about the University, give parent insight on needs/concerns, and help plan events!
5. DISCOUNTS: Take advantage of discounts on Razorback gear at the University of Arkansas Bookstore, $2.00 off your meal in one of our campus dining halls, and national discounts on hotels and car rentals.  Whether visiting your student in Fayetteville or traveling for work, you are covered!
