Leadership Scholars

This elite learning community, launched with generous underwriting from former students, donors, and faculty, is designed to financially and academically support high-performing science majors who share common risk factors, including being first-generation students from low-income families. The program also provides mentorship focused on acclimating students to college.

Our scholars:

• 100% are first generation
• 100% are low socio-economic status
• 1324/28 SAT/ACT average scores or higher

Donors are the Difference

Texas A&M Arts and Sciences honors the individuals and corporations whose generous philanthropy benefits our undergraduate students by helping to provide them with hands-on learning opportunities, academic resources, mentorship, and social support through their participation in the Arts and Science Leadership Scholars Program.
