scholarships

<p>so when does A&M distribute scholarships 2 students?</p>

<p>Usually a few weeks before school. Unless you are referring to when they announce if you’ve received a scholarship or not.</p>

<p>yeah, I am talking about if we’ve received a scholarship or not…when for that?</p>

<p>They should have told you when you got your financial aid. If not, then you won’t receive any scholarship I think.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Correct. </p>

<p>In the future, you can separately apply for “departmental scholarships” that basically come through aggie alumni donors to your major… these are easier to attain than money from the school. A&M doesn’t like to hand out scholarships to anyone unless they are dirt poor or have excellent stats coming in as a freshman.</p>

<p>where do u separately apply for “departmental scholarships” ?
I thought the separate application from applytexas for tamu was it.</p>

<p>Some of the majors have separate scholarship apps due May 1. One example is Geosciences. You might want to look on the website for the major or program which admitted you.</p>

<p>ohh ok…I think I applied for the Business one but I am not sure. I visited the website and it said that “Check on your scholarship application at howdy.tamu.edu” but I can’t find it on my Howdy. does any1 know anything about this?</p>

<p>click on the applicant 2009 tab and you will see your financial aid portal on the right hand side… </p>

<p>I submitted my application for financial aid several weeks ago but the portal says that the application have not been recieved whereas I was told by the financial aid office that my application have been recieved via email… Do any of you have been through this situation?</p>

<p>yes…thats wat happened 2 me 2 and I bugged them abut it, so they fixed it quickly :D</p>

<p>and I got my fin aid package but I haven’t received my scholarships from TAMU yet? any reason why?</p>

<p>Financial aid office said that they have already handed out all the scholarships… when exactly did you recieve your fin aid package and how much? I dont think they will be giving you or me any scholarships now…!</p>

<p>I got mine like 4 weeks ago</p>

<p>Got my status updated in the finaid portal… Waiting for the package now…!!</p>
