At Texas A&M, a leading spirit is ingrained in our nature. To ensure that Texas A&M Health continues to attract students of high caliber, retains and recruits the brightest and most committed faculty and staff, conducts cutting-edge research, and impacts the community, we are committed to growing our endowment, scholarship dollars and research funds.
The single largest gift
Sue and Joe Knowles ’50, MD, want to honor the importance of team health care and provide for the next generation of rural medical professionals. Their $7 million planned gift for endowed scholarships will support students in both the Vashisht College of Medicine and the College of Nursing at Texas A&M.
Opportunities for Philanthropy
We are not just focused on a few issues; we are on the forefront of every issue, and our ambitious goal demonstrates our commitment to addressing major societal challenges facing the state, nation and world. Bound by our core values—and with the support of a worldwide network—we will make the impossible, possible. Learn how you can support our colleges and schools by exploring their funding priorities:
I didn't have a dime coming to Texas A&M, and I didn't even use a computer growing up. Luckily, scholarships and loan options were available. I can go to school now and become the person that I want to be. So, is the American dream alive? Yes, without a doubt.
