Scholarship Information

 

At Texas A&M University-Kingsville, we recognize the importance of a quality education. We are dedicated to helping you find a way to achieve your higher education goals. In addition to awarding University Scholarships, we also process private scholarships. To ensure maximum consideration, it is imperative that students are knowledgeable of the specific requirements and deadlines associated with all scholarships awarded.

In addition, incoming Freshmen should complete the Javelina Online scholarship application by the deadline of February 15th for all other general and departmental scholarships. 

Transfer students should complete the Javelina Online scholarship application by April 1st to be considered  for general and departmental Transfer scholarships.

Applying for Scholarships

The Scholarship application and its required documentation will be copied for distribution to the departments where the students might qualify for scholarships.  Students may attach an additional page if necessary to list all school related activities and achievements, special honors and awards.

Incomplete applications and applications received after the deadline will not be eligible for consideration.

Freshmen students must submit high school transcripts with class rank posted, ACT (21) or SAT (970) test scores, (ACT 19 or SAT 920 for ROTC scholarships), and two letters of recommendation along with the completed scholarship application.

Transfer students must submit official transcripts from all colleges attended, two letters of recommendations, as well as the completed scholarship application.

Students who are already attending the university are not eligible to turn in a Freshman/Transfer student scholarship application.  This student must contact the department of their major for scholarships offered to students through each department.
