Your Legacy Matters

Scholarships

Crimson & Gold Fund for Athletics

The Crimson & Gold Fund provides direct support to over 400 student-athletes that make up the Austin College Athletics Department and our 14 varsity programs. These resources help Kangaroo Athletics provide an enhanced athletic experience while empowering student-athletes today to be difference-makers tomorrow. You can help ensure the continued competitive and positive experience of the Austin College student-athlete by making a gift to the Crimson & Gold Fund.

The Jerry and Joy Apple Challenge for Coaching

The Jerry and Joy Apple Challenge for Coaching was conceived by the Apples to see assistant coaches added to all our programs. At that time, Austin College student-athletes from only one sport had the advantages of assistant coaches. Following Jerry’s passing in February 2016, Joy remains committed to supporting the athletics programs Jerry loved. Gifts from the Apples and others have made it possible to hire a full-time women’s soccer assistant coach. Let’s keep the momentum going and add assistant coaches to all our teams. Our students will be the winners in this important initiative! Make your gift today.

Gifts made to the Crimson & Gold Fund, including those towards Athletics capital projects and the Jerry and Joy Apple Challenge for Coaching, are considered for the Robert T. Mason Society. For more information or to discuss other ways to provide support for Athletics, please contact Executive Director of Major Gifts JR Ohr or Athletics Director David Norman.

Faith & Engagement

Austin College was founded in 1849 to be a Presbyterian college. Reverend David Baker, educated at Hampden-Sydney College and Princeton University, led efforts for over a decade to create a college on the western frontier, establishing a Presbyterian presence in early Texas. Mindful of our historic roots, Austin College continues to provide a liberal arts education based on time-honored values and traditions. Today, the steeple of Wynne Chapel rises above campus treetops, a physical reminder of the covenant relationship between the College and Presbyterian Church (USA). At the same time, Wynne Chapel now serves the diverse group of people that make up the multi-faith Austin College community. The College creates many opportunities to foster spiritual development and student engagement in interfaith and intercultural dialogue and service.

The Sara Bernice Moseley Presbyterian Scholars Program is named for Austin College’s former first lady, Sara Bernice Moseley, wife of the College’s twelfth president, John D. Moseley. Mrs. Moseley served as an educator and leader in the Presbyterian Church (USA).
The Sara Bernice Moseley Scholarships are awarded to students who are members of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and have records of academic achievement. Strong candidates will have demonstrated a commitment to the Church and service to others. This scholarship is renewable for each undergraduate year, provided a student is involved in meaningful ways in the life of the Church and in service to others and remains in good academic standing. Your gift supports our commitment to faith and engagement.
