College Town for June 15

Special to The Eagle

Mary Jo and Donald R. Schroeter have endowed a $25,000 scholarship for Texas A&M mechanical engineering students who graduated from Texas high schools.

The Mary Jo and Donald R. Schroeter '63 Scholarship in Mechanical Engineering will benefit students whose parents were killed or disabled while on active duty in the military.

Recipients who earn their bachelor's degrees and immediately pursue graduate degrees may also receive additional two-year scholarships.

Donald Schroeter said they were sponsoring the scholarship to show appreciation and respect for service members who have made sacrifices for the country.

Schroeter earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M.
