The Association Honors Outstanding Students
The Association of Former Students
annually honors outstanding students
from Texas A&M University through
the Gathright Scholar Award and Buck
Weirus Spirit Awards. Established in
April 1973, the Thomas S. Gathright
Scholar Academic Excellence Award
is presented by The Association of
Former Students in conjunction with
Texas A&M’s Student Government
Association. Named in honor of Texas A&M’s first president, the award recognizes sophomores, juniors and seniors with the best academic records in each of the Texas A&M colleges. It is the most prestigious award granted for academic performance. The Buck Weirus Spirit Award annually honors up to 55 students who enthusiastically demonstrate high involvement, create
positive experiences throughout the Aggie community, impact student life at Texas A&M and enhance the Aggie Spirit through participation in student organizations, Aggie traditions and University events. The award is named for the late Richard “Buck” Weirus ’42 who served as executive director of The Association of Former Students from 1964 to 1980.
