Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Foundation

Our latest endowment recipient

Posted by · August 16, 2026 9:32 AM

I am always honored to receive these letters from grateful students in the healthcare field at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

This one is the recipient of the Hector P. Garcia MD Endowed Presidential Scholarship through 2027.

Imagine supporting a student to complete their medical school curriculum and to be from South Texas.

We can all benefit from the generosity of the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Foundation, changing a life, one student at a time.
