Mr. and Mrs. Terry proudly accept signed gifts from the graduating Seniors at the annual picnic held in Winedale, Texas.

The Terry Foundation was established in 1986 by Nancy

M. and Howard L. Terry out o f a desire to help young people

to help themselves. The Foundation’s goal is to improve and

develop the State of Texas by assisting graduates o f Texas high

schools to attend The University o f Texas at Austin and Texas

A&M University each year. The Foundation hopes these stu

dents will have a significant impact on the future leadership of

our state and nation. To achieve this goal, The Terry Founda

tion awards substantial scholarships to students who meet the

exacting standards set by the founders.

Mr. and Mrs. Terry are both long time residents o f Hous

ton, Texas. Howard Terry has been active in businesses o f

banking, investment, construction, real estate, and oil and gas

in the Houston area for many years. He now feels that his

finest achievement was the establishment o f The Terry Foun

dation. Nancy Terry completely concurs.

2

The primary purpose of The Terry Foundation is to iden

tify young people who have the promise o f future distinction

as a leader and to assist them in developing their future and

the future o f those around them.

Terry Foundation awards are based on the criteria o f lead

ership, character, scholastic ability, need, and participation in

activities. The competition for acceptance in the program is

keen. A potential Terry Scholar must demonstrate leadership

potential, a desire to enrich the general welfare o f the commu

nity, and academic ability. A well rounded personality,

grounded in the desire to succeed, and a demonstrated history

o f community leadership, are the key qualities sought by The

Foundation. Mere academics or need alone is not enough.

To apply for a Terry Award, candidates must graduate from

a secondary school in the State of Texas, public or private, and

be accepted to attend either The University o f Texas at Austin

or Texas A & M University. Currently, nominations are made

by the scholarships or financial assistance office at the stu

dent’s university o f choice. The Trustees request letters o f rec

ommendation from each applicant’s high school English

teacher and principal. Other letters o f recommendation that

shed light on an applicant’s leadership and desire to succeed

are encouraged.

The applications o f nominees are screened first by the

respective university’s financial assistance office and second by

the Board o f Trustees. Candidates who progress successfully

through this preliminary process are invited to Houston, at

The Foundation’s expense, for a personal interview with the

Trustees. After the interviews, the Terry Scholars are selected

for the coming year.

In the first year, 1987-88, The Foundation awarded 16

scholarships. They were joined in 1988-89 by 17 additional

recipients. There are currently 150 Terry Scholars at the

University o f Texas at Austin and Texas A& M University.

Forty-three scholarships were awarded for the class o f Septem

ber, 1996. The Foundation anticipates that the number o f

scholarships awarded will gradually increase year by year.

Each Terry Scholar is awarded an annual stipend depend

ing upon prior awards and financial need. The Foundation

intends to always be the principal financial support for each

Scholar. The awards are renewable semester to semester,

depending upon satisfactory progress, and are designed to

cover four years o f study for an undergraduate degree.

The founders hope that The Terry Foundation will con

tinue to grow and prosper with an increased number of

awards each year and that the Scholars will become a family

who will want to participate in the future o f The Foundation

and to help those who follow them.

Texas A & M University’s Academic Building.

Texas A & M University, the Lone Star State’s first public

institution o f higher learning, is one o f the select few universi

ties in the nation to boast triple land-grant, sea-grant, and

space-grant status.

The 121-year-old university is located in College Station, a

medium-sized community that is approximately equidistant

among the state’s most metropolitan areas. Its 5,200-acre cam

pus is one o f the largest in the nation.

Texas A & M has long been known nationally for its school

spirit and traditions, including the fact that its students stand

throughout football games as the Twelfth Man to indicate

symbolically their willingness to suit up and play if needed.

More recently, it has expanded its reputation to include

national recognition for attracting top students, innovative

research programs, and exceptional academic programs in a

host of areas.

The university’s student body includes some o f this coun

try’s best students. Texas A&M , for example, has consistently

ranked among the nation’s top 5 schools in enrollment o f new

National Merit Scholars. In all, it has more than 2,500 stu

dents receiving major four-year academic scholarships and

over 20,000 receiving some form of scholarship aid.

With 43,095 students, the university ranks third nationally

in overall enrollment. Among those students are 7,551 gradu

ate and professional-school students as well as students from

all 50 states and more than 110 foreign countries. Women

now comprise approximately 44 percent o f the student body

at the school that was once all male and all military. Although

military training has not been mandatory for more than a

quarter o f a century, some 2,400 young men and women still

choose to participate in the university’s Corps o f Cadets. The

4 A&M

Corps continues to commission more military officers than

any institution except the service academies.

Texas A & M also ranks seventh nationally in endowment

value, reflecting its ability to support world-class faculty and

facilities and other aspects o f the academic process. The

faculty includes two Nobel Laureates and a winner o f the

National Medal o f Science, six members o f the National

Academy o f Sciences, fifteen members o f the National Acad

emy of Engineering, and three members o f the prestigious and

selective Royal Society o f Great Britain.

The university’s campus has numerous state-of-the-art lab

oratories and research facilities, including a vastly expanded

research cyclotron, now one o f only three o f its caliber in the

world. The university also has a leading chemical characteriza

tion center and various installations that enable it to be in the

forefront in biotechnology and numerous other disciplines in

both the life and physical sciences and in engineering.

The work o f an outstanding faculty in exceptional facilities

has placed Texas A& M in the top 10 in rankings o f major

research universities by the National Science Foundation.

The most recent N SF ranking placed Texas A & M sixth,

and the university’s volume has since grown to approximately

$370 million annually. The research projects supported by

that funding encompass all o f the university’s academic

colleges — agriculture and life sciences, architecture, business

administration, education, engineering, geosciences, liberal arts,

medicine, science, and veterinary medicine.

Not to be limited by state or national boundaries, Texas

A & M is firmly committed to being a vital part o f the “global

village.” Its international outreach efforts include memoranda

of understanding with more than 70 foreign institutions and

organizations in Europe, Asia, and South and Central Amer

ica. In addition, Texas A& M operates the Santa Chiara Study

Center in Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy, and many College

Station-based multidisciplinary groups are devoted to

enhancing research and scholarship opportunities both at

home and abroad.

The university mascot, “Bevo” the longhorn, graces the courtyard o f John Hargis H all on the U T campus.

Now in its 114th year, the University o f Texas at Austin is

recognized among major universities for its eminence in

research, teaching, and public service. It is the oldest and

largest component o f the 13-campus University of Texas sys

tem. Since its opening in 1883, the University has grown

from a 40-acre tract to a main campus o f 357 acres and 119

buildings.

By attracting capable individuals from every segment o f

society, the University seeks to maintain a student body that is

diverse in nature but united in its pursuit o f higher education.

U T Austin students come from 50 states and 116 foreign

countries. The fall 1996 enrollment was 48,008 students.

Minority and international students constitute 34.2 percent of

the student population. The backgrounds o f the students are

richly varied ethnically and geographically.

The faculty of U T Austin is composed o f 2,334 professors

and lecturers supported by more than 2,400 assistant instruc

tors and teaching assistants. They include the winner o f the

1977 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the winner o f the 1979

Nobel Prize in Physics, the winner o f the 1948 Pulitzer Prize

in Fiction, the winner o f the 1967 Pulitzer Prize in Fiistory,

recipients o f the 1968 and 1986 Enrico Fermi Award, and a

1971 National Medal o f Science recipient. The University has

1,022 endowed positions— 176 chairs, 471 professorships,

and 375 fellowships and lectureships. From the efforts o f indi

vidual faculty members to work o f 84 organized research

units, scholarly inquiry covers a broad range o f disciplines —

literally spanning the known universe from the inner workings

o f atomic nuclei to the far reaches o f space.

18 DT

In addition to teaching and research responsibilities, fac

ulty members maintain regular office hours and many serve as

academic advisers to students. Although U T Austin is a large

university, students will find most classes small enough to

allow for considerable faculty and student interaction.

The University has the fifth largest academic library system

in the U.S. In Anthony Hobsons Great Libraries, it is cited as

one o f the 32 great libraries o f the world. More than seven

million volumes are located in 19 different libraries on cam

pus. The system is comprised o f four separately administered

units: the General Libraries, the Center for American History,

the Humanities Research Center, and the Tarlton Law

Library, the fifth largest academic law library in the nation.

U T Dinner (I to r): Dr. Jim Vick, Jennifer Summerford, Robert Gabriel, Peyton M cKnight and Gardner Dudley

enjoy the festivities at the annual fa l l banquet.

The General Libraries consist o f the Perry-Castaneda Library

(the main library), the Undergraduate Library, the Collections

Deposit Library, four special collections, and nine branches.

Special collections include the Nettie Lee Benson Latin Amer

ican Collection, the Asian Collection, the Edie and Lew

Wasserman Public Affairs Library, and the Middle East Col

lection.

The University campus also extends way beyond the

boundaries o f the main campus, incorporating research cen

ters across the state that keep the University at the forefront

of study in such areas as geophysics, astronomy, marine sci

ence, history, literature, and engineering.
