Clarence Sasser received the Medal of Honor in 1969 from President Richard Nixon for his life-saving acts of valor while serving in Vietnam. He was later recruited to attend Texas A&M University on a scholarship offered by the late Gen. Earl Rudder. While life circumstances prevented Sasser from graduating, he remained an Aggie at heart, and in 2014, he was presented with an honorary degree from Texas A&M.
In recognition of his selfless service, the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine created the Clarence Sasser Scholarship this year, a $25,000 scholarship initially made possible by the generous contribution of an anonymous donor and slated to be awarded to medical students who demonstrate the same dedication that Mr. Sasser personified on the battlefield.
Learn more about the Clarence Sasser Scholarship and its first recipient, John Espinoza, who served for more than eight years as an Army veterinary food inspection specialist.
