Marvin and Laurie Morrow have established the Marvin “M.L.” ’86 and Laurie H. Morrow ’85 Student Development Endowment to support the MEEN Girls organization in the J. Mike Walker ‘66 Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the Marvin “M.L.” ’86 and the Laurie H. Morrow ’85 Family Endowed Scholarship to provide one or more scholarships to full-time students in good standing pursuing an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering at Texas A&M University.
Both M.L and Laurie were drawn to Texas A&M for the quality education and most of all, the spirit of Aggieland. “Our experiences at A&M have shaped our lives since graduation. Not only did we receive great educations, but over the years and around the world, when people see our Aggie rings, there is an instant bond,” Laurie said.
Through the generous support of their families, Laurie and M.L. were both able to attend A&M. “We recognize that not all students have that luxury,” Laurie said. “We both acknowledge the importance of engineering in the world today and quality education that A&M provides.”
The Morrows decided to establish their scholarship with Texas A&M because of the far-reaching positive effects Texas A&M has had on them and their family. “The quality education and experience that we received allowed us to have exciting careers and lives, and we want others to be able to experience that too,” Laurie said.
“We hope that our student development endowment will allow for students to have access to activities that will enhance their careers beyond just their classroom education,” she continued. “We hope that the endowed scholarship will allow the recipient to focus on their education and reduce their financial worries. Our inspiration comes from our own memorable experiences both during our Aggieland days and the life we lead because of A&M.”
Laurie graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering and M.L. with a degree in civil engineering. They have two children who graduated from Texas A&M, Anderson ’14 and William ’16, as well as their daughter-in-law Kami ’14.
