Friends and Family of Jacob Hardin have established a scholarship in memory of Jacob Hardin. The Jacob Hardin Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to one or more full-time students in good standing pursuing an undergraduate degree in electronic systems engineering technology from Texas A&M University.
 
After a long battle with brain cancer, Jacob Towns Hardin passed away in August of 2021. He had a passion for engineering technology, and was dedicated to the College of Engineering at Texas A&M. He was active on campus, and participated in Aggies for Limbs, Aggies Creating Sustainable Solutions and Aggies Invent. Outside of engineering, Jacob enjoyed traveling, music and the outdoors. He was a supportive friend to many, and exuded positivity and joy to those around him.
 
Jacob was honored in the Silver Taps ceremony on Sept. 7, 2021.
 
Friends, family and those impacted by Jacob have established this endowment to memorialize Jacob’s life and his commitment to the College of Engineering. His family hopes this scholarship will inspire recipients to persevere in their education as engineers.
