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 its high school candidates for admission using the E2EnmedEap pathway resulting in 15 Brown Scholars who matriculate to the prestigious EnMed Program.

The Brown Foundation has helped immensely in securing my financial situation so that all of my focus can be on academics and extracurriculars. With their support, I have been able to participate in the fast-track Quantitative Finance Master’s program while receiving my engineering degree and remaining involved with campus leadership. I have met countless motivated and amazing students through the scholarship program and made professional connections which I am sure will last a lifetime!

Receiving a Brown Foundation Scholarship has changed my life and the commitment that Mr. Brown and Ms. Smith have shown me has a huge factor in my decision to attend A&M. They attended my concerts as a Singing Cadet, they hosted a lunch for Brown Scholar HM SURI summer interns, and they have given me freedom to pursue my academic interests. I have also benefitted from Brown Scholars who have helped and supported me and were instrumental to my academic success.
