Good news for area students.

The Texas A&M University-Texarkana Foundation’s Board of Directors announced today that they will personally match contributions to establish the Texas A&M University-Texarkana Foundation Endowed Scholarship fund. Contributions made to this scholarship fund will be matched on a dollar for dollar basis, up to a total of $1 million. The 27 members of the Foundation Board have collectively committed to using their own personal funds to match the contributions.

“We are elated about this new scholarship campaign.

We are so thankful.”
