Created in 2008, the TAMU Troops to College Committee (T2C) began under the leadership of the Executive Director of Scholarships & Financial Aid.  In 2012, T2C responsibilities were moved under the new Veteran Resource & Support Center (VRSC) in the Division of Student Affairs.  In 2013, T2C was reorganized to include more student representation and Co-Chair responsibilities between both the VRSC and Scholarships & Financial Aid.  In 2019, T2C membership exceeded 50 staff, faculty, and students.
