Megan and Jonathon Shuhart '96 have established the Megan and Jonathon Shuhart '96 Scholarship. This endowment will be used to provide one or more scholarships to full-time, first-generation students in good standing pursuing an undergraduate degree in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University.
As a first-generation college student, Jonathon attended his first Texas A&M football game his freshman year of high school and was set on being an Aggie.” I only applied to A&M and wasn’t interested in any other school.”
Jonathon attributes the inspiration behind his gift to the financial aid he himself received at Texas A&M. “I am a first-generation college graduate and was able to attend Texas A&M as a recipient of the President's Achievement Scholarship,which made it possible for me to graduate without student loans,” he said. “I have always wanted to provide a similar opportunity for a deserving student that may not otherwise be able to attend A&M.”
Jonathon hopes his scholarship will have a positive impact on the recipients. “I wanted to give back to allow someone the same opportunity I was given and hope this will provide another pay it forward moment,” he said.
“I am thankful for the generosity of previous donors that helped me with my education at Texas A&M and want to provide the same opportunity for someone else.”
