*Our first two scholarships above are fully funded and have already sent six students to TAMU over the past ten years. Our third Medical Studies Scholarship is new and will be funded for a 2025 Texas A&M freshman. We hope you can join us in funding the two newer scholarship programs, so we can continue to send additional worthy students on to enjoy their higher education experience.
