This is for all those determined students who have found their passion in life, and are going to college to build that career they’ve always wanted. You’ve decided you’re going to achieve academic and career success no matter the cost, and if that means putting your schooling above all else, enduring long nights, and losing touch with the people around you, then so be it. Don’t be too hasty, though. While that’s a great attitude to have, you shouldn’t neglect your social life.
It’s not slacking to block some time off to get to know your classmates. After all, another opportunity that comes with college is the people you’ll meet, and it’s important that you don’t neglect that aspect. It’s not just a friendly recommendation, or a stress-buster. It will help you in your future career. Facebook doesn’t count. You need to set some time aside from your busy schedule and develop a real-life social network.

Here are four reasons why:

​Anticipated Graduation

• Review the "Anticipated Graduation" semester listed on the School tab in the Terry Portal. Email me if you last semester of Terry funding will be different than the semester/year listed.
  

​Face-to-Face Courses

• When you register for fall, remember the Terry Foundation Scholarship is intended to fund enrollment in courses taught in-person, face-to-face, and require Scholars to attend class on their Terry-affiliated university campus. For any Terry-funded semester of enrollment, Terry Scholars must maintain enrollment in at least six hours of coursework taught face-to-face and requiring in-person, on-campus attendance. Failure to adhere to these guidelines without prior permission from the Foundation may result in the termination of your Terry Scholarship.

Give Back Night
Friday, December 8 at 4 PM - 9 PM
We have scheduled the final Fundraiser night for The Terry Foundation for this semester at Pita Pit. It is on 4th St, just past the West end of the Loop, near Wal Mart and Slim Chickens. I know the holidays and finals week are stressful for everyone. We all need a little break, and can stand to eat some good food, right? (Not to mention that Pita Pit is mega affordable!) So please come out and show your support for this wonderful foundation. All proceeds will benefit future scholarships, as well as the rebuild efforts in the Houston area this coming spring. Make sure to let the staff know that you are there for the Terry Fundraiser! Spread the word, and tell your friends!!! This event also requires a minimum headcount, so please click on the actual GroupRaise link, and RSVP to the event! Thank you for helping to make this fundraiser a success https://www.groupraise.com/events/40008-terry-fundraising-at-pita-pit

We will start Terry Advising this week through October 27th

Steps to Terry Advising

1. Fill out this form http://www.depts.ttu.edu/scholarships/TerryScholars/spring_advising-1.php
   1.  The plans to graduate semester by semester needs to be a detailed plan of courses and total hours that you will take in the coming semesters. The point of this is to ensure that you are taking enough hours and in the correct sequence to make the most of our funding as well as have a solid plan in place for study abroad and internships.
   2. Involvement needs list at least 3 activities or clubs that you are involved in or plan to. My suggestion is always: one for give back, one for fun, and one that has to do with your major. 
   3. To select multiple Terry Committees hold shift and click.
2. After you submit your form, the out page will give you the link to schedule your appointment. Please allow 24 hours between submitting your form and attending your advising session.
3. You will receive an email reminder 1 day before your advising appointment from Sign Up Genius.

Failure to sign up for and attend an advising session by October 27th will result in the scholar needing to wait until after November 17th to be advising and to have their hold moved.

November 27th at 5PM
801 Avenue H, Shallowater, TX 79363
​
We will deliver food to the fire department in Shallowater and then head to the Sarchet's barn for Friends-giving. Watch for a sign up sheet for the firefighters soon!
