New STEM Partnership
Terracon collaboration opens doors for graduate students
In a collaboration with Terracon, a San Antonio-based engineering consulting firm, two A&M-San Antonio graduate students have received the Terracon Foundation Graduate STEM Scholarship.
The College of Graduate Studies and University Advancement worked together in securing sponsorship for the competitive STEM scholarship, which provides the two graduate students—Ashlynn Smith and Ahmad Elallaf—with $1,250 for both the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 academic years.
“This is our first sponsored graduate scholarship. It’s really a milestone for Texas A&M University-San Antonio,” said Dr. Ting Liu, dean of the College of Graduate Studies. “It’s an industry partnership that will create more opportunities for our students down the road.”
