EnMed – Craig & Galen Brown Foundation

EnMed Scholarships

For the 2023- 2024 academic year, E2EnMed EAP Brown Scholars who have taken the MCAT  scored an average of 520.57, 97%, 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 additionally offers graduate scholarships to the School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed). EnMed is a first- in- the- nation graduate program that blends experiential learning in engineering innovation with medical school training to create a new kind of doctor, a Physicianeer, with the goal of transforming health care to benefit patients and society-at-large. EnMed students simultaneously earn master’s degrees in engineering and medicine in four years. The Brown Foundation proffers high school candidates for admission to EnMed utilizing the E2EnMed Early Assurance program and can admit 15+ Brown Scholars annually to the EnMed Program.

National Health Thought Leaders on the ENMED Concept

This is such a great idea. I wish the program had existed when I was in school. I would have definitely been a student.

Joseph Wu

MD, PhD, Director, Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, Simon H. Stertzer, MD, Professor and Professor of Radiology

I am fully supportive of this forward-thinking concept, it is a wonderful idea. My only regret is that I didn’t think of it first!

Barbara Stoll

MD, Dean Emeritus UT McGovern Medical School

Converging engineering and medicine is such a great idea that it is one of those things that when you first hear about it, you wonder -why didn’t I think of that?

Celebrating the World's First Class of Physicianeers

On Saturday, May 20, 2023 Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine held the inaugural graduation for the world’s first class of Physicianeers. Graduation was held at the Westin Hotel in the Texas Medical Center in Houston and Francis Collins, MD, PhD, the former director of the National Institutes of Health, was the Commencement Speaker. Graduates received a Medical doctorate and Master of engineering degree. On Friday, May 19, 2023, EnMed students presented their Innovations Poster Session, followed by a Nobel Laureates and Inventor of the Internet Colloquy. 100% of EnMed graduates successfully matched with a medical residency training program and several will serve at some of the top teaching hospitals in the U.S.

Brown Foundation E2EnMed Early Assurance Scholarship

Brown Foundation E2EnMed Early Assurance Scholarship Program

The Brown Foundation awards graduate scholarships to the School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed) and 20+ Brown Foundation candidates are proffered to the EnMed Admissions Committee as Brown Foundation E2EnMed Early Assurance Program candidates for admission to EnMed as high school students.

Brown Foundation E2EnMed EAP candidates must achieve National Merit status, urance Program candidates h achieving, well rounded National Merit high school seniors with demonstrated leadership and community service to apply to the E2EnMed Early Assurance Program, pursue an undergraduate engineering major and matriculate to the EnMed Program. These students will be proffered for condition admission as Brown Foundation E2EnMed EAP candidates.  

Brown Foundation scholarship recipients who are conditionally admitted to the EnMed Program must sustain academic excellence, the aforementioned attributes and A&M’s core values throughout their course of study as undergraduate engineering students. The Brown Foundation’s EnMed scholarship requirements, including a student’s academic achievement, medical and engineering research opportunities and MCAT scores, and required leadership positions, exceed those of the College of Medicine’s admission requirements.

EnMed Graduate Scholarship Requirements

Texas A&M University leadership has granted the Craig & Galen Brown Foundation (“Brown Foundation”) the right to proffer select high school students for conditional admission to EnMed utilizing the Engineering to EnMed Early Assurance Program pathway (“E2EnMed EAP”) and have 15+ EnMed Brown Scholars matriculate to EnMed assuming successful completion of Texas A&M College of Medicine and Brown Foundation requirements. Undergraduate EnMed Brown Scholars must earn a Bachelor of Science from a Texas A&M College of Engineering degree program (including engineering, interdisciplinary engineering and computer science).

EnMed is a collaboration between Texas A&M College of Engineering, Texas A&M College of Medicine and Houston Methodist Hospital. EnMed graduates receive a Master of Engineering and MD degrees in four years. This first-in-the-nation program blends experiential learning in engineering innovation with medical school training to create a new kind of doctor, a “physicianeer” with the goal of transforming health care for humanity.

High school students who achieve National Merit Status and receive undergraduate scholarship offers from the Brown Foundation and a subset of students who additionally receive Brown Foundation EnMed scholarship offers and are conditionally admitted to EnMed utilizing the E2EnMed EAP must attend Texas A&M University and meet the following Brown Foundation requirements:

Achieve (and terminate in good standing) at least one leadership position* within Texas A&M University over the course of undergraduate education;
Conduct research, preferably medically- related (including the 10-week Houston Methodist Summer Undergraduate Research Internship (“HM SURI”) for EnMed and select pre-med Brown Scholars** and/or medically related engineering research, for at least two semesters over the course of undergraduate education

*Acceptable activities provided by Brown Foundation; activities not pre-approved are subject to Brown Foundation approval

** Brown Scholars pursuing EnMed are automatically granted admission to HM SURI and receive a supplemental scholarship from the Brown Foundation

Brown Foundation EnMed scholarships range from 50%-100% of EnMed tuition
