This program helps students from migrant and seasonal farmworker backgrounds succeed in college. CAMP students take classes, study, share housing, socialize and participate in many special activities.  The CAMP's  dedicated staff is committed to helping students succeed at TAMUK. This is a selective program with only 50 vacancies, available  per school year, some will be In-Residence and others will be Commuters.  While High School performance is important and part of the selective process, CAMP selections emphasize need, ambition, desire and committment to succeed in higher education.
