Scholarships and fellowships change lives and enrich the student body. When you fund a scholarship or fellowship, you make a profound difference for individual students and for the lives those students touch as graduates of Texas A&M University at Galveston.

A contribution of any size will help bring more adept scholars to Pelican Island and develop students into the leaders of tomorrow.

Scholarship gifts are tax-deductible and may be funded through cash, securities, real estate or your estate. Most scholarships are payable over a five-year period.

TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY AT GALVESTON

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES GENERAL SCHOLARSHIPS You can create a customized scholarship of your own design. You can name your scholarship in memory or honor of a person, class or organization, and you can direct it to support a student of any classification in a particular major, field of study, or from a specific geographic region.

Minimum Endowment Amount $25,000 is the minimum amount to endow a general scholarship.

FOUNDATION EXCELLENCE AWARD (FEA) FEAs help recruit and retain outstanding undergraduates from historically disadvantaged groups often underrepresented in our student body, including minorities and those who face significant economic or educational hurdles.

Minimum Endowment Amount $10,000 will fund a one-time, four-year award for one student. If the student does not remain eligible, another student will be awarded the remaining amount. $50,000 will permanently endow an award to provide one student an annual stipend for four years.

EDUCATION ABROAD SCHOLARSHIP Education abroad scholarships give students the gift of international education and travel. Programs vary in length and cost to students. The Texas A&M Maritime Academy Summer Sea Term does not qualify for education abroad scholarships.

However, general scholarships can be created to support cadets in the Summer Sea Term.

Minimum Endowment Amount $25,000 provides a student with a one-year award. Every year, a new student will benefit from the scholarship.
