Texas A&M University College Station offers funds in the form of scholarships, grants and loans to students who either show excellent academic prowess or are in need of financial assistance. For your convenient perusal, we have segregated them accordingly.
Scholarships
TAMU College Station has attached requirements to access scholarships, so it is necessary for the student to understand them and be diligent in meeting those requirements before planning to apply for it.
You would find two separate categories of scholarships for incoming freshmen and for sophomores. To apply for a freshman scholarship all you need to do is fill up the ApplyTexas or Coalition application. The application is evaluated on the basis of your test scores and also few other parameters like talents and community services. In a few cases they might also consider your financial status. The university also provides 4-year academic scholarships. Some merit-based scholarships are:
-
The Craig & Galen Brown Foundation Scholarship: This scholarship is provided to freshmen students on the basis of national merit alone.
-
The Century Scholars Program: This is another merit-based scholarship that the university provides, so we could say that it’s an institutional scholarship.
Apart from merit-based scholarships, in certain cases you will also find few professional scholarships.
TAMU College Station also has provisions for regional scholarships and non-resident tuition waivers. Scholarships are also provided to dependent children of Texas or TAMU College Station employees. The graduate students are eligible for grade point average scholarships which fall under academic scholarships as well, only if they meet the necessary requirements. The international or transfer students are also eligible for a wide array of scholarships.

Grants
Grants offered by the university come in the form of federal grants, most prominently the Pell Grant. The university provides you the facility of applying for the federal grants. Applying for an FSA requires you to fill in the FAFSA form.
Pell Grants generally are awarded only to undergraduate students who are in exceptional financial need. Unlike any kind of loan, a Federal Pell Grant does not have to be repaid, except under certain circumstances (such as if the student loses their eligibility)
