Financial Aid

Although the costs of tuition keeps rising across the nation, Texas A&M continues to be an excellent value compared to other schools. Not only is tuition relatively low compared to other programs for in-state students, it also is affordable for out-of-state students. Students receiving departmental assistantships are assessed tuition at in-state rates. Students are eligible for summer funding.

Forms of financial aid include assistantships and fellowships. Students who are awarded departmental assistantships also receive medical coverage under the University's health plan. Texas A&M also offers Graduate Merit Fellowships, Regents Fellowships, and other university Fellowships to qualified applicants. Students are nominated for these scholarships and fellowships by the department. Currently, most incoming students to the department are funded either through fellowships or departmental assistantships. Texas A&M also administers several loan programs for students who need financial assistance. To be considered students must meet the eligibility requirements of the various programs, be in good standing with the University, and be making satisfactory academic progress. Holding a fellowship or assistantship does not necessarily disqualify one from obtaining an educational loan.
