Endowments Supporting Students Living On Campus
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.
Our newest scholarships, endowed by Ana and William Kopf to support three resident advisors. 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 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 (2012). 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. Read “Deep in the Heart” for more information.
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.
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. Financial need is weighted, students must be in good standing (academic and conduct) and reside in Neeley Hall.
