Staff Council Scholarships, Awards, and Celebrations
Staff Council is dedicated to supporting the betterment of the university and its staff through innovative programs that recognize the contributions of staff to the mission of the university, and the role of professional growth in service excellence.
Dorothy Yeater Memorial Scholarship
Dorothy Yeater was a valued staff member who worked at the Campus Store and left great memories of kindness and laughter. To honor her memory, Staff Council created the Dorothy Yeater Memorial Scholarship Fund to help employees continuing their education at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi purchase books and supplies needed for class.
Staff Council offers this scholarship to support academic achievement of staff members and the overall mission and goals of the university.
A select number of full-time, benefits eligible staff members will receive a credit to be used at the TAMU-CC Campus Store. The scholarship selection is made by the Dorothy Yeater Memorial Scholarship selection committee.
