Mr. a n d Mrs. Terry p rou d ly accept s igned gifts fro m the gradu a tin g Seniors a t the annu al p ic n ic held in W inedale, Texas.
The Terry Foundation was established in 1986 by Nancy
M . and Floward L. Terry out o f a desire to help young people
to help themselves. The Foundations goal is to improve and
develop the State o f 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 o f
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 H ous
ton, Texas. Howard Terry has been active in businesses o f
banking, investment, construction, real estate, and oil and gas
in the H ouston area for many years. He now feels that his
finest achievement was the establishment o f The Terry Foun
dation. Nancy Terry completely concurs.
The primary purpose o f 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 com m u
nity, and academic ability. A well rounded personality,
grounded in the desire to succeed, and a demonstrated history
o f com m unity 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 o f Texas, public or private, and
be accepted to attend either The University o f Texas at Austin
2
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 Directors request a letter o f
recommendation from each applicant’s high school English or
M athematics teacher. 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 Directors. Candidates who progress successfully
through this preliminary process are invited to H ouston,
Austin or Dallas at The Foundation’s expense, for a personal
interview with the Directors and others. After the interviews,
the Terry Scholars are selected for the com ing 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 233 Terry Scholars at the
University o f Texas at Austin and Texas A & M University.
Zachary Sturm, Alex A lexandrov a n d Yuri Gelfand enjoy each others company a t the annu al U T Dinner.
Ninety-seven scholarships were awarded for the class o f
September, 1998. The Foundation anticipates that the
number o f scholarships awarded will increase every 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 o f
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 U n ivers i ty ’s Academ ic 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 123-year-old university is located in College Station, a
medium-sized community that is approximately equidistant
among the state’s most metropolitan areas. Its 3,200-acre cam
pus is one o f the largest in the nation and is the home o f the
George Bush Presidential Library and M useum , which opened
in November o f 1997.
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 M an 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
4 A&M
research programs, and exceptional academic programs in a
host o f areas.
The university’s student body includes some o f this coun
try’s best students. Texas A & M , for example, has consistently
ranked am ong the nation’s top 10 schools in enrollment o f
new National M erit Scholars. In all, it has more than 2,500
students receiving m ajor four-year academic scholarships and
over 20,000 receiving some form o f scholarship aid.
W ith 43,389 students, the university ranks fourth
nationally in overall enrollment. A m ong those students are
6 ,752 graduate and professional-school students as well as
students from all 50 states and more than 110 foreign
countries. W omen now comprise approximately 50 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 ,100 young men
and women still choose to participate in the university’s Corps
o f Cadets. The Corps continues to commission more military
officers than any institution except the service academies.
Texas A & M also ranks tenth 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 a Nobel Laureate and a winner o f the
National Medal o f Science, six members o f the National
Academy o f Sciences, sixteen members o f the National Acad
emy o f Engineering, and two members o f the prestigious and
selective Royal Society o f Great Britain.
The university’s campus has numerous state-of-the-art
laboratories and research facilities, including a research
cyclotron, now one o f only three o f its caliber in the world.
The university also has a leading chemical characterization
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 ninth,
and the university’s volume has since grown to approximately
$367 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,
science, and veterinary medicine.
N ot to be limited by state or national boundaries, Texas
A & M is firmly com m itted to being a vital part o f the “global
village.” Its international outreach efforts include memoranda
o f 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, “B evo” the longhorn, graces the courtyard o f John Hargis H a ll on the U T campus.
Now in its 116th year, the University o f Texas at Austin is
recognized am ong major universities for its eminence in
research, teaching, and public service. It is the oldest and
largest com ponent o f the 15-campus University o f Texas
system. Since its opening in 1883, the University has grown
from a 40-acre tract to a main campus o f more than 410
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 115 foreign
countries. The fall 1998 enrollment was 48 ,917 students.
M inority and international students constitute 34.5 percent o f
the student population. The backgrounds o f the students are
richly varied ethnically and geographically.
The faculty o f U T Austin is com posed o f 2,700 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 1967 Pulitzer Prize
in History, recipients o f the 1968 and 1986 Enrico Fermi
Award, and a 1971 National M edal o f Science recipient. The
University has more than 1,100 endowed positions — 226
chairs, 507 professorships, and 391 fellowships and lecture
ships. From the efforts o f individual faculty members to work
o f 87 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.
22 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 m ost 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 H obson’s Great Libraries, it is cited as
one o f the 32 great libraries o f the world. More than 7.5
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.
The General Libraries consist o f the Perry-Castaneda Library
(the main library), the Undergraduate Library, the Collections
D eposit Library, four special collections, and nine branches.
Special collections include the Nettie Lee Benson Latin Am er
ican Collection, the Asian Collection, the Edie and Lew
Wasserman Public Affairs Library, and the M iddle East C ol
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
o f study in such areas as geophysics, astronomy, marine sci
ence, history, literature, and engineering.
