The Story Behind the Scholarship

Andrew started college right after high school but decided it wasn't the right fit at the time. He opted to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. His time in the USMC was some of the best years of his life. After reconnecting with his local Marine brothers, he often enjoyed hanging out at The American Legion in Round Rock, smoking cigars, and reliving the memories.

Because of his military service he was able to use the GI Bill to go back to college. He enrolled at The University of Texas in his thirties. The fact that he came back when he was older, he appreciated the experience more and worked hard. He completed his Bachelor of Arts degree while working full-time, supporting his family. Andrew's service also allowed his son Justin to complete his college degree by transferring his remaining Hazlewood Act hours to Justin.

Andrew was a diehard Longhorn fan and Texas Exes Life Member. He and his wife would often go to the Alumni Center on game days.

He loved being on campus, so much so, that he gladly accepted the position of General Manager of the Campus Computer Store. Andrew never knew a stranger. He personally loved helping students and faculty alike with their computer purchases, on top of the daily store management. He was known to deliver on and off campus when necessary to make it more convenient for his customers.

Andrew was diagnosed in March of 2022 with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer. He passed away in September 2023 after fighting this terrible disease for 18 months.

Please stop calling this a journey, as journeys ultimately end. For those that have to name things I ask respectfully that you call it a mission. Missions have purpose and never leave the fallen behind. My resolve is to complete my mission with dignity.
- Andrew Huoni, February 2023.

This endowment was created by Andrew's wife Tammy, son Justin, and the Campus Computer Store on behalf of his family and friends to be the ultimate completion of Andrew's mission with dignity and in service to others.

Semper Fi, Marine.

Bill Frisbie Endowed Scholarship for RecSports Student Employees

Bill earned a bachelor of journalism degree from UT in 1984 and honed his writing and reporting skills as a senior sports writer for The Daily Texan, later serving as editor of The Longhorn Letter, a sports publication of the Texas Exes’ Student Association.

He maintains his connection with RecSports as a member and regular visitor to the gym, as well as a supporter of Friends of RecSports. By establishing the endowment for students employed by RecSports, Bill follows the example of his late father, Dr. William Parker Frisbie, a former UT professor and chair of the Department of Sociology who, in 2008, inspired the establishment of an endowment to support outstanding faculty and graduate students within his department.

Home to Texas

Home to Texas^™ is a scholarship-funded summer program that connects first-year students with internship and research opportunities in their hometown communities.

Many students from small or rural communities come to UT Austin; however, few return to their hometowns after graduation. As a result, many Texas communities lose a significant talent base of future professionals and leaders.

In response to this emigration of talent, Texas Career Engagement hosts the Home to Texas program (an initiative started by IC² Institute and School of Undergraduate Studies ). Undergraduate student participants return to their hometowns after their first year at UT Austin to complete a full-time summer internship and to engage in community research. The goals of this program are three-fold: to develop a strong professional foundation early during the student’s UT experience, to build connections for a potential future in the student’s home community, and to help prepare the next generation of community leaders.

Robert G. Childress Endowed Scholarship for RecSports Student Employees

The Robert G. Childress Endowed Scholarship was established to support undergraduate students, with preference given to students who are or have been employed by Recreational Sports. Bob’s affinity for students who work for RecSports stems from his own experiences on the Forty Acres which have made an indelible mark on his personal and professional life.

Bob came to the Forty Acres as a freshman in 1969 and he has remained associated with the University ever since. As an undergraduate in 1970 he worked in the Jester Residence Hall cafeteria then as a Resident Advisor in 1971–73, where he also managed the resident hall’s intramural teams. This experience led him to become directly involved in RecSports’ Intramural Sports Program as an official in 1972 and later as a graduate assistant.

Although Bob originally planned a future in medicine, this proud Texas Ex, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology in 1973 and a Master’s in Education-Kinesiology in 1976, enthusiastically accepted a position with RecSports upon graduation. He took on many duties, including working in the gym store and in the fitness/wellness area and, soon enough, in the Intramural Sports Program. Bob spent decades developing and managing the intramural program which inspired him to propose the creation of an alumni program to re-engage with former intramural participants to return as supporters. The Friends of RecSports initiative became a reality and expanded its outreach to former student staff members, sport club members and other RecSports participants. One of its greatest achievements is undoubtedly the establishment of the student scholarship endowments that are benefiting today’s students and the generations that will follow.

Requirements

Enrollment at UT Austin as an undergraduate student during the Spring 2025 term.
Current employment in good standing as a student employee at RecSports during the Spring 2025 term.
A minimum of three complete terms of employment at RecSports, the Spring 2025 term may count toward this requirement if you are employed the entire term.

Tyrell "Ty" Williams, a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran with 3 tours of combat, moved to Austin in 2007 the week of his 31st birthday and six weeks after returning home from his final tour.

The Voyager Scholarship Program is a two-year, leadership development and scholarship program. Through a transformational combination of barrier-reducing financial aid, an immersive work-travel experience, and a robust network of leaders and mentors, the Voyager Scholarship is designed to inspire, empower, and connect the next generation of leaders and equip them with the tools and resources they need to launch their careers in public service.

The program identifies students in their third year of undergraduate studies who have a passion for public service. Over the course of two years, programming will facilitate opportunities for students to refine their values-based leadership approach, build bridges across communities, and nurture their sense of curiosity as they deepen their commitment to pursuing public service careers.
