Dr. Sammy Ray was associated with Texas A&M University for almost 40 years. He was director of the Texas A&M Marine Laboratory in Galveston from 1963 through 1972 and was principally responsible for keeping the research and teaching programs alive in the early days of the laboratory. His efforts ultimately culminated in the creation of the Texas A&M University at Galveston campus.
Founded in 2014, the Graduate Ambassador Program serves as an opportunity for student leaders to act as liaisons for the Graduate Studies Office in the roles of recruiter and advocate for the Galveston graduate student population.
As recruiters, ambassadors play a critical role in promoting Texas A&M University Galveston Campus to prospective graduate students. Our Ambassadors lead tours, participate in graduate fairs, and address prospective student questions via email. As advocates, ambassadors are the eyes and ears of the graduate student body. They bring concerns and issues to the Graduate Studies Office. In addition, they assist with events that promote the graduate student community like Howdy Lunch and Graduate Student Appreciation Week.
Each ambassador will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship for the academic year as well as a Graduate Ambassador polo and magnet name badge. The award is split over two semesters ($500 in fall and $500 in spring). If an ambassador does not meet the 15 volunteer hour requirement in the fall semester, the scholarship will not be paid out during the spring semester.
Each semester, an ambassador should work 15 hours. Hours can be gained through mandatory events, optional events, and email correspondences to prospective students.
Applications can be found in the Graduate Studies Office.This scholarship was established by the Houston A&M University Mother’s Club to provide a scholarship to a full time undergraduate or graduate student from Harris County in good standing with Texas A&M University at Galveston.

Houston Underwater Club, an organization dedicated to furthering sport diving and activities relating to mans' involvement in the underwater environment, first presented an underwater film festival to the public in 1969. The film festival became an annual event, and it was expanded from solely underwater film activities to other sport diving and aquatic activities, with a mission to educate the public in diving skills, dive safety, marine life, underwater photography, marine environments, and to expose the public to marine travel destination. SeaSpace Inc. was formed, and the annual underwater festival transformed to "SeaSpace Weekend." For over 35 years, SeaSpace sponsored SeaSpace Weekend, and the funds raised from the weekend events were used to provide scholarship to students enrolled in marine and aquatic programs at United States universities, and to provide grants to eligible marine and aquatic organizations. In 1990, SeaSpace was incorporated as a 501 (C) (3) non-profit corporation. After SeaSpace weekend was discontinued in 2005, the Board of Directors of SeaSpace, Inc. decided to endow the Texas A&M Foundation and Texas A&M University as Galveston with the Permanent Education Funds for investment, administration, and scholarship and grant awards.
