The Montague-CTE Scholar program, named for founding donor Kenneth Montague ‘37, honors early-career excellence in undergraduate teaching at Texas A&M.

The intent of the program is to recognize one tenure-track assistant professor in each college who has already demonstrated a commitment to, and potential for, excellence in undergraduate teaching. This award includes a $5,000 grant for each recipient to encourage further development of undergraduate teaching excellence. Scholars will be honored at a luncheon on Oct. 10 at Reed Arena Room 301A.
