First awarded in Fall 2004, the Regents' Scholarship is designed to assist first-generation college students in achieving their educational goals at Texas A&M University. To be considered for the Regents’ Scholarship, you must be: admitted as a freshman to Texas A&M University College Station; be a first-generation college student (neither parent has earned a bachelor’s degree); come from a family with an adjusted gross income of less than $40,000 per year as verified through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Texas Application for Student Financial Aid (TASFA).
The Regents' Scholarship will be offered to approximately 1,000 incoming freshman students each fall. There is not a separate application process for this scholarship. However, you must have your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) on file by February 15, and your Texas A&M financial aid file must be complete by May 1. Initial awards are based on data from your admissions application. To apply for admissions, you must complete the ApplyTexas admissions application or Common App by December 1 for fall admission.
