Our Goals
The Austin Texas A&M University Mothers’ Club is one of more than 100 clubs across the country. Our goals include raising funds and providing scholarships for the benefit of Texas A&M students, educating Aggie Moms about the many aspects of the university and providing fellowship opportunities for Aggie moms.
Scholarships and Fundraising
We are a 501(c)(3) with a mission and passion to provide scholarships to outstanding current Austin-area Texas A&M students. We have donated more than $500,000 in scholarships to Austin Aggies and give spring grants to campus student organizations that are awarded yearly and nominated by our club members. Additionally, we have five endowed scholarships through the university and are in the midst of funding a sixth endowment. Learn more about our current scholarship recipients which are funded through our Singing Cadets concert, raffles and online store sales.
Educating Moms
We meet monthly for meetings, inviting speakers from the University and the Texas A&M community to provide updates on campus news, opportunities for our students and other interesting topics. Speakers have included VP Student Affairs, the Commandant, the 12th Man Foundation, Mental Health Services, University Police Department, various deans from colleges around campus, Library Services and numerous student groups/organizations.
Social Activities
Members enjoy outings, including wineries, shopping trips, painting, bowling and happy hours.
