Dustin was an Aggie to his very core; his love and passion for Texas A&M University was legendary. In fact, Dustin knew he was an Aggie before the first grade. He worked tirelessly to achieve his dream and in 2007, he did just that. Dustin graduated with a degree in construction science from Texas A&M and, more importantly, he received his coveted Aggie Ring.

 

Our foundation with The Association of Former Students recently established the Dustin Lee James ’07 Endowed Memorial Aggie Ring Scholarship. Once fully funded, the scholarship will award a ring to either 1 or 2 Aggies each year. The number of rings distributed will likely depend on an applicant’s gender due to the difference in size between male and female rings. 

 

To make this a reality, we have a lot of work ahead of us. The endowment requires a total of $25,000 raised over 5 years. We have currently raised $10,000, so we have $15,000 to go! Although steep, I know that the love and dedication we all carry for Dustin will help us accomplish this goal. 

 

In honor of Dustin's birthday, we are launching a fundraiser where 100% of the proceeds will go towards his Aggie Ring Scholarship. The winner will receive this football autographed by Mike Evans! The football comes with certificate of authenticity.

​

Raffle tickets are $50 each. We will draw the winner in one month on January 17th!

​

We would like to say a very big  thank you to the Tschoerner family for making this fundraiser possible!
