International Students Scholarships and Financial Aid, Texas A&M University, USA

International students may apply for grants and scholarships if they have demonstrated financial need. Financial need itself does not guarantee that a student will receive a grant or a scholarship. Awards are not designed to meet the student’s entire financial need. They are designed to supplement the student’s other financial resources. This permits limited funds to assist the largest number of students. Grants do NOT include a tuition waiver. Continuing students are eligible to apply, however incoming students are required to show they are able to support themselves for one year while attending Texas A&M University. Incoming students may apply their second year for financial aid.

Semester for which applying: Summer 2012 Semester (summer supplement also required)

Application Deadline: April 1, 2012

LATE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. If you have any questions regarding the application process or documentation requirements, please contact ANNA M.
