About the Boot Loan Program
Across the Texas A&M University campus, senior cadets can be heard before they are seen. There is a distinct sound that senior boots make...the jingle of the spurs and the sound of the taps let you know they are around. These boots represent a road less traveled, perseverance, and grit on the part of each cadet. Senior cadets should have the opportunity to wear the boots they earned yet some do not have the financial resources to purchase them. Some just like the idea of walking the Quad in a pair that harks back to the days of “Ol’ Army.” Whatever the reason, as always, Aggies have each other's backs.
The Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets Association has been managing the Senior Boot Loan Program since 2023 and has grown the program by 200 boots since then.
