Eminent Scholar Award

A Salute to Those Paving the Way

In 2009, Aggie Women proposed the creation of an award specifically created for the dedicated women faculty of Texas A&M University. It’s called the Eminent Scholar Award.
This award honors faculty who demonstrate significant support of Aggie women. It recognizes outstanding research, scholarship and service. The recipient of the Eminent Scholar Award receives recognition on campus, a $4,000 gift and are honored at the Aggie Women Network Awards Luncheon.

To learn more about the award process, please visit the Office of Faculty Affairs.
