GIVING TO RESIDENCE LIFE
The Department of Residence Life strives to keep living on campus an affordable option.
With the costs of living on campus ranging from $2,385-$5,262 per semester (double occupancy), providing scholarships for housing assists students with keeping on-campus living an affordable option. Growing these endowments creates support annually and in perpetuity for students to live on campus and build that legacy. You can choose the endowment to support or create your own.
Endowments Supporting Students Living On Campus
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.
The Jerry Hajek III Endowed Memorial Scholarship has been established by the Family & Friends of Jerry Hajek, III, an honorary resident of Hart Hall on the Texas A&M University campus and a student at the University of Houston at the time of his death (2013). Jerry exemplified all that an Aggie is, and was regularly involved in Hart Hall activities and with Hart Hall residents. These funds go to scholarships for continuing full-time students in good standing, pursuing an undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University who live in Hart Hall during the term of the scholarship, exemplify the altruism and spirit of a Hart Hall resident, and have a financial need as determined by Scholarships & Financial Aid.

Would you like to be remembered at Texas A&M?

If so, read on and see how you can be a visible part of Texas A&M by participating in the Puryear and Law Halls “Continue the Traditions” campaign!
It has long been the belief of most Aggies 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 continue to be part of student life in the residence halls and on campus. Commemorative bricks for the plaza are available.
Student Engagement Through Programming
The Residential Housing Association (RHA) provides student governance for on-campus housing. These funds enhance the resources available for on-campus housing communities to provide programs, activities and opportunities for residents to enhance their living and learning experiences. The Residential Housing Association (RHA) Board of Directors (students) is responsible for the allotment of available funds annually to meet the requests of the individual community hall councils.
The Leadership Living Learning Community (L3C) Programming Fund has been established to continue the activities that have been staples of the L3C student experience (fall retreat, academic field trips, international dinner, and performing arts/plays). In the past, these activities have been offered at no cost to the first-year students that participate in the Leadership Living Learning Community each year. This endowment is an effort to continue to provide these value-added experiences.
