Our Mission:
The Brown Foundation empowers the next generation of leaders through personalized mentorship and unparalleled opportunities, uniting a community of purpose-driven scholars.
The Craig & Galen Brown Foundation (Brown Foundation) awards undergraduate scholarships to high achieving, well-rounded students who achieve National Merit Semi-Finalist or Finalist status, have demonstrated leadership and community service, and attend Texas A&M University (A&M). Students are known as Brown Scholars and are recognized on the A&M campus as exceptional students and leaders. 95% of Brown Scholars major in engineering and the remainder major in other STEM disciplines.
The Brown Foundation awards Engineering Medicine (EnMed) scholarships to a subset of students who are offered Brown Foundation undergraduate scholarships. Each year, the Brown Foundation proffers high school candidates to the E2EnMed Early Assurance Program resulting in 15 Brown Scholars who matriculate to the prestigious EnMed Program.

The Brown Foundation has truly transformed my college experience by providing not only generous financial support but also meaningful mentorship and numerous opportunities. From my first interview to today, Ms. Sue Smith’s guidance has been invaluable throughout my journey in the E2EnMed program. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Brown, Ms. Smith, and the Foundation for their unwavering support and for the Brown family — an inspiring community of like-minded students — that has made Texas A&M feel like home.

The Brown Foundation has been one of the greatest blessings during my time at Texas A&M. Not only have I been afforded academic and professional opportunities that I never could have anticipated, but the Brown Foundation has made a large university feel like a family.

Biomedical Engineering
The Brown Foundation has transformed my time at Texas A&M. As a biomedical engineering student, I worked with clinicians and Alzheimer’s patients as a summer intern at the Houston Methodist Summer Undergraduate Research internship, an opportunity made possible by the Brown Foundation. Beyond academics, Mr. Brown and Mrs. Smith’s support of organizations has shaped me into a more confident leader who strives to embody the Aggie Core Values. Their mentorship helped me in my role as a Maroon Coat to represent Texas A&M with purpose, integrity, and pride.
What makes the Brown Foundation truly extraordinary, though, is the personal care and relationships that both Mr. Brown and Mrs. Smith foster. My conversations with Mrs. Smith about pursuing law school have been filled with thoughtful guidance and meaningful connections, and the kind of warmth and sincerity that makes me feel truly supported. The Brown Foundation has offered mentorship, community, and a steady source of empowerment. I am incredibly grateful for their confidence in me, for opening doors I never imagined, and for inspiring me to pay forward the same generosity and care that they so selflessly give.

College, especially at Texas A&M, can be very overwhelming and intimidating. That was how I felt coming into my freshman year. But when Mr. Brown and Ms. Smith told me they would provide me with all the resources I need to be successful here, I almost didn’t believe it. The Brown Foundation has been both a community and a valuable source of support that has given me the confidence to know that all of my goals are achievable

When I received my acceptance letter from the Brown Foundation, my life took an adventurous turn. I didn’t expect to attend Texas A&M, but the kindness of Mr. Brown and Ms. Smith and the support of my fellow scholars has made A&M feel like a second home. The Brown Foundation has allowed me to pursue many of my passions, whether it be publishing The Wordsmith newspaper for Brown Scholars or attaining the skills to become a Physician through the EnMed program. I owe so much to Mr. Brown, Ms. Smith, and the Brown Foundation for their encouragement and support and I would like to thank them for cultivating such a unique, diverse, and driven community at Texas A&M
