Dr. Terri Estes '78 has established the Richard D. Estes '78 Scholarship. This endowment will be used to provide one or more scholarships to full-time students in good standing pursuing an undergraduate degree in civil engineering at Texas A&M University.
Richard Estes passed away in August of 2015 and is survived by his wife, Terri, and their children. Terri established the scholarship with the Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in honor of Richard because it was the department he graduated from.
Both Terri and Richard graduated from Texas A&M in 1978. Terri graduated with a degree in biology and Richard with a degree in civil engineering. Richard then went on to earn his MBA at the University of Arkansas.
