A letter from our Scholarship Chair: |
|
The Williamson County A&M Club is dedicated to providing scholarships for Williamson County seniors graduating from high school and planning to attend our alma mater. Not only is the club dedicated to this endeavor, it is the primary focus of the organization.
|
|
The scholarship program began in the late 80's
under the leadership of Tommy Magness, in what was then the
Georgetown-Sherril A&M Club. From a modest $500 total award for
a single student, through the growth of the club and generosity
of its members, we have expanded our program to award three,
three thousand dollar scholarships annually, along with a $500
scholarship given in memory of Hank Tays. The Tays award is
designated to be given to a graduating senior from Georgetown
High School. Two new scholarships are being added in 2008. They
are the Pete and Nell Kauffman Scholarships. Each scholarship
will be valued at $5000.00 and given to a Liberty Hill High
School senior and a Georgetown High School senior who intends to
major in agriculture or a land use major. Our scholarships are
given based on need, scholastic achievement, extra curricular
activities and community involvement. The scholarship recipients
are introduced and given their award at Muster each year.
|
|
The scholarships are funded by the annual dues collected by the club, by our annual fish fry held in May, and through donations by club members and TAMU supporters. Payment of dues is the single most important source of scholarship revenue. Please pay yours at Muster, if you haven't already done so. There is a tremendous number of deserving, talented, capable high school seniors that can benefit from your foresight and generosity.
|
|
We currently have many students on scholarship at the University and would like to increase that number. With your support, we can expand what is a very good program into a even better one. Please join me in continuing a vital tradition that strengthens our University with quality students.
Thank you for your support of this program and Gig 'em!
