Each year the Department of Aerospace Engineering presents the Larry Anderson Award to an outstanding senior within the department. This award was created by Professor Stanley Lowy in honor and memory of Larry Anderson. Larry was the Chairman of the TAMU Student Branch of the AIAA in 1968-1969 and tragically lost his life in an airplane accident the week prior to graduation.

The Larry Anderson Award is to honor a graduating senior who has exhibited the qualities of Larry Anderson. These qualities were:

1. Exuberance for Aerospace Engineering
2. Demonstrated Leadership within the Department and
3. Service to the Aerospace Engineering Program and its Students

Students eligible for the award are those graduating in May, August, or December of 2007.
