Texas Christian University has announced a $10 million bequest from the late Paul E. Andrews, Jr. in support of the Andrews Institute of Mathematics & Science Education in the College of Education.

The gift will endow scholarships within the institute and provide support for mathematics and science educators, from undergraduate and doctoral candidates to research faculty. Andrews, an electronics entrepreneur and founder and CEO of TTI, died in February. Previously, he and his wife, Judy, made a naming gift to the institute; established the Andrews Chair of Mathematics & Science Education in the college; endowed the John V. Roach Honors College in honor of former TCU board chair John Roach; and endowed the Andrews Chair of Interdisciplinary Studies.

"This generous and greatly appreciated gift will allow the Andrews Institute of Mathematics & Science Education to expand support of the College of Education in recruiting and funding mathematics and science educators," said Molly Weinburgh, the inaugural Andrews Chair of Mathematics & Science Education. "Dr. Andrews was aware of the great demand for mathematics and science teachers and, therefore, targeted these areas. To steward the Andrewses' gifts to their intended use is a great privilege and responsibility."
