Membership-related gifts are the foundation of our annual fundraising efforts and allow the Dallas A&M Club to award considerable scholarships each year to multiple deserving Dallas-area high school seniors that will be attending Texas A&M, to also occasionally contribute to important endeavors at Texas A&M, and to maintain club-related programs in Dallas County for former students of Texas A&M.
Dallas A&M Club membership applications may be submitted via the MEMBERSHIP page on the DAMC website. Lifetime and active, dues-paying members for last year (2015) are listed on the SPONSORS & DONORS page. Please note that annual memberships are valid January 1 through December 31.
