Scholarship Program and Student GPA's
The Brown Foundation’s objective is to provide scholarships to the highest academic achieving, well-rounded students, who are pursuing STEM and Business degrees at Texas A&M University. Brown Scholars must cultivate leadership and people skills along with education. Graduates have assumed leadership positions in their chosen professions, and include engineers, physicians, academic researchers, inventors, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, executive managers, business owners, community volunteers, and leaders.
There are 382 Brown Scholar graduates and 210 Brown Scholars attending A&M in the 2023-2024 academic year. The average Brown Scholar GPA is 3.87 and 140 Brown Scholars posted a 4.0 GPA for the 2022-2023 academic year. 106 students have a cumulative GPA of 4.0
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.
Undergraduate Scholarships
Craig and Galen Brown Engineering Honors Program
The Brown Foundation awarded its first undergraduate scholarships to 4 A&M students in 1992. Since its humble beginnings, the Brown Foundation has awarded over 600 undergraduate scholarships to high achieving, well rounded students who achieve National Merit status, attend A&M and pursue majors in STEM disciplines, principally engineering. Scholarship recipients are known as Brown Scholars and are widely regarded as leaders on the A&M campus both academically and also in clubs and organizations.
Since 2019, a subset of Brown Scholars who intend to pursue medical school at the School of Engineering Medicine (‘EnMed”) have been awarded an additional 4-year scholarship from the Brown Foundation to EnMed. To date 38 Brown Scholars attend or will matriculate to EnMed.
The Craig and Galen Brown Foundation Engineering Honors Program (“Brown Engineering Honors Program”) has provided $20 million dollars to the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University to recruit, select and scholarship students pursuing engineering majors. Currently, there are 100 Brown Scholars are currently pursuing engineering degrees and 175 Brown Scholar engineering graduates.
