- Required Fees
- Books
- Room
- Board
- Miscellaneous Expenses
- Partial Athletic Scholarship
Billing Explanation
- If you have completed all eligibility requirements, athletic aid is paid no sooner than 10 days prior to the first day of class each semester.
- Athletic tuition and/or fee payments will appear on the student bill as ‘3rd Party Contract’ payments on the student account
- A Book stipend does not disburse to the student billing account: it is a placeholder to reflect that a student-athlete is eligible to receive textbooks from the Texas A&M Bookstore as part of their athletic aid package
- The Miscellaneous Expenses stipend disburses three times a semester
- The Room & Board Stipend may disburse monthly, or in one lump sum at the beginning of each term.
Non-Resident Tuition Waiver
Student-athletes do not automatically qualify for a non-resident tuition waiver as the result of receiving athletic scholarships. Student-athletes may qualify for a
Competitive Scholarship Non-resident Tuition Waiver, should they meet all eligibility requirements.
Outside Scholarships
- Student-athletes are encouraged to apply for outside scholarships, but should bear in mind that any aid received must be reviewed and approved to ensure NCAA compliance.
- All student athletes should report any anticipated aid via Front Rush on their Compliance Form, as well as the Report Outside Scholarships and Resources form on their Student Financial Aid Portal
- Once a donor has awarded a scholarship, they are encouraged to send the scholarship check directly to Texas A&M. If the student-athlete receives the scholarship check directly, they should send the scholarship check via mail, or bring it in-person to the Aggie One Stop. Contact information for the donor (name, address, phone number, e-mail, etc) should be included with the scholarship check.
- All scholarships are reviewed by the Athletics Aid Coordinator and Athletics Compliance to determine if the scholarship is permissible. If approved, the scholarship is posted to the student-athlete’s fee statement.
