Family and friends have established the Dr. Thomas L. Frey, Jr. ’85 Endowed Scholarship. Distributions from this endowment will be used to provide one or more scholarships to full-time students in good standing pursuing an undergraduate degree in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University.
Frey started his college career in electrical engineering at another university but left after his sophomore year to pursue music. After deciding that making it in the music industry was not in the cards for him, he applied to Texas A&M as a transfer student.
Initially, he was denied admission based on his GPA. However, he was offered an opportunity to meet with the admission board and was conditionally accepted in 1983. Making the most of this opportunity, Frey worked hard and graduated in 1985. He always believed that Texas A&M taking a chance on him changed his life, and he is proud of his Aggie legacy.
