MEMBERSHIP
Your membership in Friends of the Battalion helps support the tradition of student journalism at Texas A&M University.
Like many student newspapers across the county, The Battalion has lost both advertising revenue and programming fees that once enabled the newspaper to pay its editors, photographers and writers for their work. Donations to Friends of the Battalion go directly
to pay for student journalism worker salaries, offset printing costs and assist with newsroom expenses for the students working at The Battalion this semester.
Note: Person-to-person online payment networks such as Venmo and Zelle may not be used for a non-profit organization’s transactions.
