A large part of The Association’s mission is to serve the student body. We do this through scholarships, supplemental instruction, emergency tuition and fee loans, the student assistance fund, support for student organizations and programs and more. 

The Association of Former Students helps former students maintain their ties to Texas A&M and to each other through a number of programs aimed at helping Aggies reconnect with Texas A&M. Among these are A&M Clubs, Class activities and Constituent Networks. 

Fish Camp is a 3-day, 2-night extended orientation program for incoming freshmen at Texas A&M University.

In 2024, The Association provided $140,000 to the Division of Student Affairs that went directly to help student organizations like Fish Camp.

A sterling green space at Texas A&M University, Aggie Park quickly became the heart of life on campus after opening in 2022. Envisioned and developed by The Association of Former Students, it was funded by private donations and was a gift to be used by the entire Aggie Network 365 days a year. 

Three times a year, The Association of Former Students hosts thousands of Aggies, family and friends for Aggie Ring Day at the Clayton W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center. Aggie Ring Day, which was envisioned and created by The Association, is one of the most anticipated events of an Aggie’s academic career when they receive the most visible symbol of the Aggie Network: the Aggie Ring. The Association also financially supports Aggie Ring delivery at the School of Law and the Higher Education Center at McAllen.
