Elizabeth Ann and Ben Krueger ’84 have established the Elizabeth Ann and Ben Krueger ’84 Endowed Scholarship. This endowment will be used to provide one or more scholarships to full-time students in good standing pursuing an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from Texas A&M University.
When deciding where he would attend college, Krueger chose to attend Texas A&M for both its chemical engineering program, as well as the values and culture found in the university.
He was able to attend and graduate from Texas A&M through scholarships and recognizes their importance and impact they had on his life. “A&M gave me the foundation to become successful at Chevron and the ability to work all over the world,” Ben said.
“I established this gift as a way to pay back the generosity of the Jesse H. Jones foundation in providing me with a scholarship to be able to attend college,” he said.
The Texas A&M legacy started in the Krueger family through him and his siblings, and is carried on through his son. Krueger said that he understands the importance of being able to graduate from college debt-free and hopes to help other students achieve this goal.
“Having a scholarship made it possible for me to go to college and not be in debt. God blessed me and my family with funds to put my children through college without debt, and I see the difference it made in their lives, so I would like to continue to give,” Ben said.

The Kruegers hope that their gift will have a lasting impact and help students get a quality education. “I hope that someone in need will be inspired to become a chemical engineer, be a lasting legacy to others and that they will give back as well,” he said.
