Texas A&M University graduates Lea and Loftus Fitzwater III of Houston have established the Casey Fitzwater Endowed Regents' Scholarship through the Texas A&M Foundation in memory of their daughter, who died in 2006.

The Fitzwater scholarship gives preference to students who graduated from a U.S. high school and who plan to major in science, engineering, education or business.

Loftus Fitzwater III earned a degree in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M in 1993 and a master's degree in business administration from the University of Texas. Lea Fitzwater's 1995 degree from Texas A&M is in biology; she also received a degree in nursing from the University of Texas. The Fitzwaters have two sons, Cade, 6, and Cole, 4.

Regents scholarships are designed to help first-generation college students whose family income is less than $40,000 per year. Each year, 600 scholarships are awarded to entering freshmen. Recipients receive up to $5,000 per year for four years.
