Students arrive at Texas A&M University eager for opportunity. Drawn by the chance to receive a world-class education and join the Aggie family, each student comes with their own dreams for making a difference in the world. And thanks to scholarships like the Endowed Opportunity Award (EOA), these goals are becoming realities. 

Established more than 50 years ago, the EOA program provides four-year scholarships to incoming freshmen with financial need who display a high degree of character, leadership ability and extracurricular involvement. Since its founding, EOAs have helped thousands of students receive an Aggie education and make their mark in their professions and communities.  

We sat down with a few current EOA scholars at home to hear their answer to an important question:

What do you want to be remembered for?"

Want to help students reach their goals to impact the world? Endowed Opportunity Awards are for incoming freshmen who have exhibited a high degree of character, extracurricular involvement, leadership ability and, in most cases, evidence of financial need.

A $25,000 gift will permanently endow an award to provide one student an annual stipend for four years. Download our EOA brochure below for more information. If you’re interested in creating your own EOA scholarship, please contact Al Pulliam ’87 at the bottom of this page to get started today.
