Your gift supports student success and ensures they have the opportunities and resources needed to excel.
Giving to the Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism
The quality of HMGT students’ education is a result of many types of contributions. Members of our educational team include not only faculty and staff but also donors, advisory committee members, guest speakers, industry leaders, intern supervisors, employers, community partners, and others.
Ways to Give
There are numerous ways to give through the Texas A&M Foundation that allow you to direct your gift for a specific purpose at Texas A&M University. You can support students, faculty, college programs or student activities with an endowed gift that will provide permanent support, or you can make a non-endowed gift to be used more immediately for a designated purpose.

Endowments
A scholarship gift that lasts forever. You can create a customized scholarship of your own design rather than giving through one of our existing programs. You can name your scholarship in memory or honor of a person, class, or organization, and you can direct it to support a student of any classification, unless specified, in a particular major, field of study, or from a specific geographic region. All endowments are payable over 5 years, unless otherwise noted.
Dean’s Excellence Scholarship
A 4-year scholarship for an incoming freshman. If an out of state student is awarded this scholarship, then they will be eligible for in state tuition. The minimum amount is $100,000.
General Endowed Scholarship
The minimum amount is $25,000.
FEA Scholarships
FEAs help recruit and retain outstanding undergraduates from historically disadvantaged groups often underrepresented in our student body, including minorities and those who face significant economic or educational hurdles. The minimum amount is $10,000.
- $10,000 will fund a one-time, four-year award for one student. The president’s office will match this to make it a $20,000 gift payable to one student at $5,000 per year.
- $50,000 will permanently endow an award to provide one student an annual stipend for four years. If you pay your gift in full within one year, the university will match the earnings of your endowment during its first four years to generate a larger annual stipend for your student recipient during that initial period. To help with this we have matching funds for 4 $50,000 endowments, your investment would be $25,000.
