Congratulations to all these students for their exceptional performance to date.  The AIPG-Texas Section members trust that they will continue to distinguish themselves and their universities in the years to come. We encourage those students who applied but were not selected this year to re-submit and update their applications for consideration next year. All applications received this year were from highly qualified students. The Committee reported that the scoring, once again, was very competitive this year (see Selection Process).
