Aggies! I am proud to announce the establishment of our very own endowment scholarship in partnership with the Texas A&M Foundation. The plans and goals for the endowment were in place and announced during the 2016 local Aggie Muster ceremony. The account is now finalized and we can begin contributing to this great cause. The scholarship fund creates a lasting legacy for our club by benefiting future Aggies from out of state wanting to attend our great University.
We are now on a mission to fully fund the $25,000 principal to allow our club to distribute a $1000 scholarship every year for life! The foundation allows up to 5 years to meet the goal, but I believe we can do this much sooner. As soon as we meet our goal, we can begin helping students. The fund was established with contributions from our club scholarship fund given Aggies over the past several years + a generous contribution during Muster.
