Funding Priorities

Private support is essential to the College's continuing quest to preserve and expand excellence in its teaching, research and outreach programs. We need to continually strengthen the public/private partnership to support the quality instruction and student development that has distinguished geosciences education at Texas A&M University for more than a century. An array of possibilities exists in the College for former students to be part of this quest.
