Since 1965, The Association of Former Students has joined with Texas A&M University's Graduate and Professional School in recognizing outstanding graduate students for their exemplary accomplishments in two categories: research and teaching.
Award requirements can be found on the award webpage. Nomination submissions are typically accepted early in the spring semester.
These awards are presented annually to outstanding graduate students. Each honoree receives a framed certificate and custom watch from The Association.
"We are deeply grateful to The Association of Former Students for their ongoing support, and we commend these exceptional graduate students for their commitment, scholarship and meaningful contributions to Texas A&M University,” said Dr. Fuhui Tong, associate provost and dean of the Graduate and Professional School.
Donors to The Association of Former Students provide funding for this program.
Porter Garner ’79, President and CEO of The Association of Former Students, said the alumni association is proud to recognize graduate students’ excellence in research and teaching, as well as their embodiment of Texas A&M’s core values.
"The admirable work of the graduate students being honored with this year’s Distinguished Graduate Student Award bring honor, prestige and recognition to Texas A&M,” he said.
Each distinguished graduate student will be commended in a recognition event typically held in April each year.
