Texas A&M University-San Antonio advocates the use of non-loan funds to cover educational costs whenever possible through seeking scholarships from outside resources and within the University. To help with this endeavor, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships provides information on third-party scholarship opportunities that come to our attention. We carefully review scholarship opportunities prior to publication; however, the publication of a scholarship opportunity does not imply the funding entity or scholarship opportunity is endorsed by Texas A&M-San Antonio. Scholarship deadlines listed are subject to change. Review the organizations’ websites for official deadlines.
We encourage students who are seeking scholarship assistance to review the Federal Trade Commission’s Scholarship and Financial Aid Scams consumer information page prior to submitting scholarship applications to private entities.
The U.S. Department of Education provides guidance for students seeking additional scholarship funds. We encourage students to review this resource in addition to the scholarship information provided on this page.
If you would like the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships to review or publish scholarship opportunities you are aware of, please submit your scholarship.
