Greetings from the Foundation Chair
The NEO A&M Development Foundation mission is to continue increasing the Foundation’s assets to provide financial support to prospective and current NEO students who possess the highest qualities of leadership, scholarship and citizenship. The result – we have awarded over $1.6 million to more than 1,945 students in financial support since our inception in 1983.
Extraordinary generosity
The Foundation could not enjoy this record of achievement without the extraordinary generosity of you and our many loyal benefactors. We celebrate good fortune, not good luck, and are filled with gratitude for those who contribute financially or provide gifts of time and guidance in making the NEO Foundation a steward of hope, stability and transparency.
Whether it be by cash donation, contributions to campaign events, property donations, the Prestigious Presidential Partners Program, or other financial assistance or volunteerism, your generosity and charity provides hope and opportunity for scholarship recipients to receive educational excellence from NEO.
Students, faculty and programs benefit
NEO Foundation Scholarships are awarded to students with special qualifications, such as academic, athletic or artistic achievement. Awards are also available to students who are interested in specific disciplines of study, are members of certain underrepresented groups, live in certain areas of our state or country or who demonstrate financial need. Aid is also provided to support NEO faculty and staff, and important NEO programs and events.
Foundation board leadership
Throughout its history the Foundation has benefited immeasurably from the exceptional talent of its Board of Directors. Board members actively participate in Foundation discussions, events and fundraising. Each member brings their unique experience and expertise.
