GIVING TO RESIDENCE LIFE

This endowment supports an On-Campus Aggie serving as a Resident Adviser with a scholarship.  Resident Advisors do not receive room or board as part of their compensation, but rather are paid hourly wages.  So, scholarship support helps these students gain valuable experience, whatever their field, while serving their peers by helping to make the on-campus experience great.

A new scholarship endowed by Ana and William Kopf to support a resident advisor. Distributions from the endowment will be used by the Division of Student Affairs to provide a scholarship to Resident Advisors (RA) or Senior Resident Advisors who are full-time students in good standing pursuing an undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University in College Station.

The Sasse Endowment (established in 2012) funds scholarships for On-Campus Aggies, so that students can remain living on-campus, enjoying the value-added experience of community at Texas A&M. The endowment honors the legacy of Ron Sasse retired Director of Residence Life, who was involved with enhancing the success of on-campus students for over 33 years. The earnings from the endowment generate scholarship/rent support for entering first-generation Aggie students living on-campus.

Through an initial endowment by the namesake at the time of the hall’s opening (1975), Neeley Hall has a scholarship. Currently, one scholarship is available each semester for a continuing resident of Neeley Hall.  The criteria are: hall participation, involvement in campus activities and academic standing. Need is weighted, students must be in good standing (academic and conduct) and reside in Neeley Hall. 

Crocker and Moore Halls, built in 1942, and McInnis Hall, built in 1964, came down in July 2011 and we are committed to commemorating them appropriately to live on in Aggie history and tradition. Many former residents have already expressed interest and support for the commemoration. Aggies have long believed that the real spirit of Texas A&M is ingrained in the student body and the traditions of this great University. Today, because of the support of individuals like you, traditions of On-Campus Aggies continue to be part of student life in the residence halls and across the campus. You are invited to join the “On-Campus Aggies” Fund campaign by participating in the ongoing commemoration of Crocker, Moore and McInnis. Please consider making a contribution to the campaign. Personalized pavers for the Hullabaloo courtyard approximately where Crocker, Moore and McInnis stood.
