Transforming Lives Since 1889

Your gift ensures that the university we love—now proudly known as East Texas A&M University (ETAMU) formerly Texas A&M University-Commerce, can respond to what matters most, when it matters most.

Your generosity will address urgent student financial needs, tackle unexpected challenges, and seize new opportunities that strengthen our ability to transform lives through education in North and East Texas.

From scholarships and academic resources to leadership development and program support, you can help provide Lion students with the tools to succeed, not just in the classroom, but in life. Every gift makes a difference to every student we serve.

Mission

At East Texas A&M University, our mission is to transform lives through accessible, high-quality education in a supportive environment where faculty and staff are deeply committed to student success.

We empower students, faculty, and staff to grow personally and professionally, encouraging continuous development and the pursuit of excellence. Driven by resilience, determination, and talent, we enrich both rural and urban communities across our region.

Innovation is at the heart of ETAMU, and career readiness is central to our educational mission. We prepare graduates for a dynamic future through hands-on career exploration, internships, strong industry partnerships, and skill-building opportunities—bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world success.

Needs

Gifts to the areas of greatest need give us the resources to remain flexible as we serve our students, allowing our university to quickly respond to rapidly changing needs, both on and off campus.

Other needs include support of scholarships, academic programs, the Lion Food Pantry, Lift a Lion, the Lion Alumni Association, Lion Athletics, KETR, and so much more. For more information visit www.etamu.edu/Giving.

Equity Statement

East Texas A&M University is dedicated to recruiting a dynamic student body and supporting students in need, including those navigating campus as a first-generation college student. We continue to champion research that benefits society, encourage community understanding through informative campus events, and promote both personal and professional development through open dialogue and student engagement.
