SAN MARCOS, Texas – El Paso businessman, philanthropist and Texas State Distinguished Alumnus Richard Castro has given a $1 million gift to the university that will support scholarships for student-athletes.

"I am truly fortunate to be able to give back to my alma mater and am pleased to be extending greater opportunities to Texas State's dedicated student-athletes," Castro said.

In recognition of this gift, Texas State will rename the Champions Club level at the new University Events Center (UEC) to the Richard Castro Legacy Club Level.

The gift will match other philanthropic support to athletic scholarships in perpetuity.
