Support Student Scholarships

You can support the next generation of leaders of character by giving a gift of any size in support of student scholarships at Texas A&M. You can give a current, endowed or after-lifetime scholarship gift to any of the programs listed below, or you can explore our online giving website to give gifts of $25 or more to any of the listed scholarship accounts.

To learn more about giving a gift for scholarships, please send us a message at the bottom of this page.

Yes! The specific opportunities depend on which of Texas A&M’s individual colleges the scholarship supports, but most programs offer the chance to meet your scholar at annual events, hear personal and academic updates, and mentor recipients in what can become a lifelong relationship.

Although you can give a non-endowed scholarship that will provide an annual stipend to students until the money is used up, most donors choose to create an endowed scholarship that is invested and will last forever. The minimum amount to create a general endowed scholarship is $25,000, paid over five years.  

But if you don’t have the resources to give today, you can still leave an impact for future Aggies by funding an endowed scholarship with a planned gift. These methods, such as a gift in your will or through your retirement account, take effect after your lifetime but produce the same long-term impact as an endowment funded today. Planned giving scholarship donors can still interact with scholarship recipients through our Adopt A Scholar program, where you can “adopt” a student whose scholarship donor has passed away, allowing you to develop mentorship relationships with current students and pour into the next generation. 

Absolutely! You might find the right fit through one of the university’s existing scholarship programs listed below. These programs support students who meet different demographic, academic or extracurricular criteria, and many can be further customized based on major, classification or geographic area as well. 

Yes! If you choose to give through one of the existing scholarship programs below, you can customize elements of your scholarship, such as its name and specifics about the type of student it supports. 

You can also create a general scholarship of your own design rather than giving through one of our existing programs. These general scholarships are often established through the university’s various schools and are major-specific. Just like scholarships given through one of our existing programs, you can name your general scholarship in memory or honor of a person, class or organization of your choice, and you can direct it to support a student of any classification in a particular major, field of study, or from a specific geographic region. Endowed general scholarships begin at $25,000.

Yes! While many donors use their own names, scholarships can also be named in memory or honor of a person, class or organization of your choice.

Scholarship gifts may be made in the form of cash, securities, real estate or other real property. All $25,000 endowed gifts are payable over a five-year period, and all gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Yes, incoming and continuing students can apply for our Foundation Excellence Award scholarships through our own independent application website. Through this platform, we manage the entire process, from accepting applications to selecting recipients to disbursing funds.

For all other scholarships, students must apply through the university. Find more details about the university application at Aggie One Stop.

An FEA scholarship is not considered a competitive scholarship and cannot provide a Non-Resident Tuition Waiver to a student living outside the state of Texas. 

Scholarship recipients are selected from a pool of qualified applicants and are awarded on a variety of factors. Some scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, while others support students from underrepresented groups or those with financial need. With the exception of the Foundation Excellence Award, the Texas A&M Foundation does not administer scholarship applications or programs. Scholarship opportunities vary according to student qualifications, so please review more detailed information at Texas A&M Scholarships and Financial Aid.

What type of scholarship you fund is a personal decision with equally personal rewards. Scholarship programs offer special opportunities for donors and students to form lifetime relationships with one another. Each scholarship program is administered differently and varies within Texas A&M's individual colleges, but most programs offer the chance to mentor recipients, hear personal and academic updates from recipients, and meet your scholar at annual events.
