EnMed Scholarships
For the 2023- 2024 academic year, E2EnMed EAP Brown Scholars who have taken the MCAT scored an average of 521, 98%, and the cumulative average GPA is 3.982
Craig and Galen Brown Foundation scholarships are among the most prestigious scholarships awarded to undergraduates at Texas A&M. Brown Foundation scholarship recipients are known as Brown Scholars, and are recognized as high-achieving, well-rounded leaders at A&M. The majority of Brown Scholars major in engineering disciplines and, since 1994, 100+ Brown Scholars have received the Outstanding Senior Engineering Award at Texas A&M.
Brown Scholars have held the highest positions at A&M and achieved the highest honors and awards, including Outstanding Senior of the A&M graduating class, Corps Commander, Rhodes Scholar Finalist, Fulbright Scholar, Goldwater Scholar, and Gathright Scholar. Brown Scholars have held the highest positions in A&M clubs and organizations including, but not limited to, Texas A&M National Scholar Ambassadors, Maroon Coats, TAMU BUILD, Sling Health, MSC, Engineering Honors, Student Engineers’ Council and the Brown Foundation Freshmen Leadership Organization.
The Brown Foundation offers School of Engineering Medicine (En Med) scholarships to a subset of Brown Scholars interested in pursuing a first-in-the-nation program that blends experiential learning in engineering innovation with medical school training to create a new kind of doctor, a Physicianeer. EnMed students simultaneously earn master’s degrees in engineering and medicine in four years. Through the E2EnMed Early Assurance Program, The Brown Foundation proffers high school candidates for conditioned admission to EnMed. Texas A&M has granted the Brown Foundation the right to have fifteen Brown Scholars matriculate to EnMed annually.
CRAIG BROWN AND SUZANNE SMITH ENMED CAPSTONE Innovator AWARDS Program at Houston Methodist
Capstone innovation projects address medical needs identified by research investigators at the Houston Methodist Research Institute who may also be in collaboration with Texas A&M faculty.
Interested EnMed students apply to Houston Methodist detailing their 2-year project description and budgetary needs. Students with approved projects receive mentorship, lab space and funding from Houston Methodist and are also responsible for progress updates to ensure project compliance.
