<p>^^Thank you, bringbackpluto. That’s helpful!</p>
<p>If I haven’t heard about scholarships by now, does this mean I won’t get any? I live in Alabama and was really hoping to go here… :(</p>
<p>^ have you recieved scholarships from other universities that you’ve been accepted to? Reason I asked is because I was very unsure of recieving any scholarship money from TAMU despite the fact I got out-of-state tuition wavers from my other accepted universities. After a few calls to the Financial Aid people they were able to match my scholarships from the other universities and give me in-state tuition. being your own best advocate really does work.</p>
<p>Yes, I’ve got some scholarships to OU and Alabama. Full tuition and $2500 a semester for Bama, and a couple thousand for OU. OU doesn’t have out-of-state tuition waiver like A&M, but if I could enough as much as I got from OU for A&M, I’d be able to go there. </p>
<p>I qualify for the honors program (31 ACT), so I was hoping for something…</p>
<p>nasagirl14, did you approach TAMU by email and/or phone? Did you have to provide them with written proof of other offers? S received presidential scholarship (full tuition scholarship) from Alabama (+ Honors program and Intl Honors program) plus several other schools have offered him generous scholarships. </p>
<p>He has been accepted to TAMU and Mays Business with no scholarship. His ACT is 32, 8 APs, dual enrollment, TN Governor’s school for Intl Studies, strong ECs, volunteer and varsity/leadership roles. We were disappointed with no scholarship offers.</p>
<p>I called them and explained that I had recieved scholarships from other universities and the Financial Aid man said to fax those scholarships to him and he said he would see what he could do about it. I decided to call them because I figured email was too slow and may not get me the results I was hoping for.</p>
<p>@badger42: yeah I recieved a nice scholarshp from OU as well and that was one of the scholarships I faxed them. I would show them every scholarship you’ve recieved from other schools and see what happens.</p>
<p>@kmwjes: I would definitely try calling them. with stats like those and the scholarships you’ve already recieved I think you stand a good chance. I personally had a 30 ACT, 4.1W GPA, 8 APs, multiple ECs and got into engineering. For me, I felt the need to call soon because it seemed like every time I went to TAMU, I heard someone from the Financial Aid department say that all scholarship money was on a first-come, first-served basis and it was extremely important for me to get the out-of-state tuition wavier. I think it’s when TAMU sees how much other schools really value you that they start to get competitive and offer more scholarships</p>
<p>@nasagirl14, thank you for so much for sharing your information. How long did it take from your request to your scholarship offer?</p>
<p>Called them a few days ago, they are mailing out scholarship letters March 1st.</p>
<p>@kmwjes: I would say roughly a week or two.</p>
<p>I have a question…does A&M notify you either way regarding scholarship money? I know that letters were mailed today but will you get a letter letting you know that you didn’t get money or just a letter if you do? Also, I know that they said info could also be found on the Howdy Portal. Again, is the info posted if you didn’t get money? Thanks</p>
<p>Some departments are already notifying students. The PetE department emailed me and told me they were giving me enough for an out-of-state tuition waiver. Maybe they let OOS students know first?</p>
<p>I got a letter today with a departmental scholarship. It is the second one from TAMU, and together they cover a good bit of the tuition. I am in-state so the relative cost was not too bad to start with and the awards make it a much better deal.</p>
<p>Tiger1992, Are you already an A&M student? Which department?</p>
<p>I am a potential freshman at Mays in fall 2011. Not sure if I will be going to A&M, tho.</p>
<p>i’m an a&m hopeful 
i’ve been accepted, and already received two scholarships, but i heard that scholarship decisions are still being made, so i i’m reaaally hoping i get more money.</p>
