Scholarships drive the spirit and guide the minds of generations of Aggies, so they can affect the world in productive and inventive ways. When you fund a scholarship or graduate fellowship, you're making a profound difference for individual students and for the lives those students touch as graduates of Texas A&M University.

"Student Impact" means your gift will benefit Texas A&M students—either undergraduates or graduates—through direct financial aid in the form of a scholarship or graduate fellowship.

Some of the best and brightest high school students can't afford today's tuition, and scholarships open up a world of possibilities to them. For others, a scholarship frees them from student jobs, giving them more time to follow their intellectual curiosity or to participate in A&M's character-building student-led organizations.

The Choice is Yours

You can choose to fund a scholarship with a pass-through gift to a now account, but most donors elect to make a gift that will last in perpetuity. An endowed gift impacts students forever, as the Foundation will distribute only the earnings on your investment.
