What criteria do I need to meet to receive a scholarship?

You can receive a scholarship based on various criteria such as your major, minor, college, department, academic merits, financial need, hobbies, interests, affiliations, and more. Our scholarships can come from two different sources. Institutional scholarships are internal and are offered by various departments across campus and our Texas A&M Board. External Scholarships are available by sources outside of Texas A&M University- San Antonio and may have varying criteria. The amounts awarded will vary. Automatic renewal of the scholarship is not guaranteed as most scholarships are awarded for one academic year.
