As students first arrive at Texas A&M University and explore everything campus has to offer, they quickly discover there’s something for everyone in Aggieland. The same holds true when it comes to making a difference at the university you love.

When you create an endowed gift — which starts at $25,000 and can be paid in a lump sum or a period of up to five years — or give a smaller non-endowed donation, you can direct your dollars however you wish to support the areas of Texas A&M you’re passionate about.

Do you want to create a scholarship to help make an Aggie education possible for agriculture students from Houston? Or play a part in cancer research by impacting Texas A&M faculty studying the topic? Or enhance engineering students’ academic opportunities by supporting a program that provides them hands-on experience? Through the Texas A&M Foundation, you could accomplish any of this and much more!
