Since 1968, the merit-based President's Endowed Scholarship program has been inspiring high-achieving high school seniors to make Texas A&M University their school of choice. Students who are considered for the scholarship must have either a 1300 SAT or 30 ACT score or have attained a semifinalist or commended standing in the scholarship competitions sponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corp. or College Board.

Giving a PES

A PES can be established by an individual or group with a one-time gift of $100,000 or with a series of installments over a period of up to five years. The endowment established by the gift funds a stipend for one student for four years, plus a bonus for a study abroad experience. Since we manage the endowment to pay for the current student scholarship while simultaneously providing for the long-term growth of the principal, you'll be supporting students in perpetuity.

President's Endowed Scholarships can be named in memory or honor of a person, class or organization of your choice. PES gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible and may be made in the form of cash, securities, real estate or other real property. Many employers also offer matching gift programs that could support your gift of a PES.

Recognition

Donors of President's Endowed Scholarships will receive a large plaque honoring the person or persons for whom the scholarship is named. A smaller plaque is added to the permanent display on the master recognition board located in the Memorial Student Center. In addition, new PES donors are recognized in Spirit magazine.
