Z u r i s MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER he Terry Foundation is nearing its nineteenth anniversary and T what began modestly in 1986 is now the largest private source of scholarships for a growing number of Texas public universities. Fall of 2004 brought an historic landmark for the Foundation in the first expansion of the scholarship program to universities other than the University of Texas and Texas A&M University. In 2003, for the first time in its history, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of the Terry Foundation Scholarship Program to the University of Houston and to Texas State University- San Marcos. The first Scholars for UH and Texas State were selected at interviews in April, 2004 and began college last fall. The Foundation is pleased to welcome these outstanding institutions to the Terry program. In April, the Foundation selected a total of 169 new 2005 Scholars. We are indebted to our Scholars and Scholar Alumni who joined the Howard L. Terry members of our Board of Directors in serving on the panels to select the new class. This new class, when combined with our existing Scholars, will bring the total number of active Terry Scholars to more than six hundred students. The spring of 2005 also brought graduation to 111 Terry Scholars, many of whom graduated with honors. They join a growing body of Scholar Alumni that now numbers over 750. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Foundation staff, we would also like to thank the staffs at Texas State University-San Marcos, the University of Houston, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas for their invaluable assistance during our annual interview process in Austin, Houston and Dallas. Remember, the harder you work, the luckier you get! Howard L. Terry July 15, 2005 ^ ★ ★ MANY STARS COME FROM TEXAS. During the 2004-2005 academic year, six hundred two outstanding young Texans attended four of the state's finest universities as Terry Scholars. Their names appear on the cover of this publication.
