Some things are just part of the deal when you're an Aggie. You show up for the people around you. You give back when you can. And you remember that the community you belong to is bigger than any one person in it.
That's something we've believed since we opened our doors in 1992, and the $6,000 scholarship is one of the most real ways we act on it.
This Is About More Than a Prize
We'll be upfront: a lot of brands run giveaways to boost their numbers. Follow, like, share, done.
What makes ours different is where the money actually goes. We pay the scholarship directly to Texas A&M University, and it is applied toward the winner's tuition. It's not a gift card or store credit. It's a check written to a university on behalf of a student who's working hard to be here.
We've been part of this campus for over 30 years. We've seen students come in nervous before freshman year and walk back in four years later ready for Ring Day. We know what it takes to get through this place, and this scholarship is our small way of making that a little easier for someone.
Our Story: Founded in 1992, Still Giving Back
We've been part of College Station since 1992. More than three decades of gameday prep, Ring Day moments, graduation weekends, and everything that falls in between.
Honestly, this scholarship came from a pretty simple place. We're grateful. Grateful for the students who shop with us, the parents who make the drive, the alumni who still rep the gear long after they've left campus. That kind of loyalty means something to us, and we wanted to find a way to give some of it back that actually made a difference in someone's life.
So we started giving away $6,000 twice a year, paid straight to Texas A&M, no strings attached.

A Few Things Worth Knowing
Our scholarship is valid for Texas A&M University in College Station. It's transferable, for the purposes intended, so if you know someone who needs this more than you do, enter for them. The award goes toward the following semester and is paid directly to the university.
If you've got a friend who's been juggling school and two jobs, a sibling heading into their first year, or anyone in your life who could use a real break, it takes about two minutes to enter on their behalf. Worth it.
Why We Keep Doing This
We've been in College Station long enough to know that this community takes care of its own. That's not a marketing line. It's just true. We've watched it happen over and over for 30 years.
This scholarship is our version of that. We're a store, yes. But we've also been here for a lot of moments that mattered to people, and we don't take that lightly. Giving back felt like the right thing to do in 1992, and it still feels that way now.
Enter for yourself or enter for someone you love. Either way, we hope it helps.
Thanks and Gig ‘Em!
