Laura E. and Gary C. Timmermann ’77 have established the Laura E. and Gary C. Timmermann ’77 Endowed Scholarship. Distributions from this endowment will be used to provide one or more scholarships to full-time students in good standing pursuing an undergraduate degree in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University.
Growing up, Gary was immersed in the Texas A&M culture through his father, Curtis G. Timmermann, who graduated in 1949. “My parents had four children and, over the years, we attended many activities and events at Texas A&M, so we all grew up with a love and appreciation of Texas A&M,” he said.
Though Laura did not attend Texas A&M, she shared Gary’s love of Texas A&M, which they passed down to their three children, Shannon ’98, Dustin ’04 and Aaron. Their youngest, Aaron, attended the United States Air Force Academy on a baseball scholarship and graduated in 2007.
The Timmermanns hope their scholarship will help recipients to build and grow an Aggie history of their own. “We are hoping that this endowed scholarship will enable many future Aggie students to create their own family legacies for generations to come,” Gary said. “Laura and I feel immensely blessed and thankful to have the opportunity to give back to Texas A&M, and to hopefully help future students experience the Aggie spirit and achieve their life goals. We look forward to helping make this happen.”
Gary graduated from Texas A&M in 1977 with his degree in civil engineering. Gary’s brother and sister, Linda J. “Jeanie” ’74, and David ’84, both graduated from Texas A&M as well. Laura graduated from The University of Texas, Permian Basin with a degree in art and a minor in education.
