This endowment was established to create permanent support for the Major General Antonio Taguba Profiles in Courage and Leadership Scholarship. The scholarship and endowment are named after Antonio Mario Taguba (b. 1950), a retired Major General who served 34 years on active duty. He is the second Filipino American to attain the rank of general officer in the U.S. Army. General Taguba is best known for authoring the Taguba Report, an internal U.S. Army report on detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib prison, which was leaked and made public in 2004. His courage and steadfast commitment to integrity in the face of adversity are admired by all who know him. The endowment supports scholarships that recognize undergraduates who demonstrate scholarship and outstanding leadership as well as undergraduates enrolled in Army or Air Force ROTC seeking a degree at the University of Maryland College Park. This endowment also honors the original fundraising and commitment by the community to support our students
