TEXARKANA, Texas Texas A and M University-Texarkana received a $25,000 donation from an anonymous donor as a part of its anniversary scholarship initiative.
The university, celebrating 50 years as an institution, 25 years as a member of The Texas A and M University System, and 10 years of breaking new ground, is working to raise a half million dollars in scholarship donations to celebrate a half century in higher education.
The $25,000 donation will be used to fund student scholarships here.
"We are so fortunate to have members of the community who are willing to invest in our university students," President Dr. Emily Cutrer said in a statement Wednesday. "Donations to our scholarship funds are so much more than just gifts. Investing in our students today will pay dividends in a better Texarkana tomorrow."
The university will continue its 50-25-10 year anniversary celebration throughout 2021 with several events scheduled during the fall semester.
