Shelby and Carl Jaedicke ’73 have established the Class of 1973 Nuclear Engineering 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 nuclear engineering at Texas A&M University.
Carl graduated from Texas A&M in 1973 with a degree in nuclear engineering, so Carl and Shelby want the scholarship to have an impact on students pursuing a nuclear engineering degree in the nuclear engineering program at Texas A&M. “Our hope is that this endowment will help deserving students earn a college degree, support our nuclear department, which is one of the top programs in the world, and support the field of nuclear engineering,” Carl said.
The Jaedickes are also making this gift in appreciation of his education and experiences at Texas A&M, which he said had opened many doors for him. “Shelby and I believe in higher education and want to help deserving young students with their college expenses,” he said.
Through this donation, Carl aims to highlight the need for scholarships in the nuclear engineering department at Texas A&M and is hopeful that his classmates from the nuclear engineering class of 1973 will join him and make additional gifts to make the endowment larger. “The larger the endowment, the more students we can help,” he said.

How to Give
The Department of Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M was established in 1958 and is the largest nuclear engineering program in the United States based on enrollment. It is ranked second nationally among undergraduate and fifth nationally among graduate programs in public universities by U.S. News and World Report. Endowments supporting the students in the department have an immeasurable impact on their education. If you are interested in supporting the nuclear engineering department or would like more information on how you can give, please contact Patrick Wilson, director of development.
