As was mentioned in one of your other threads, The University of Alabama is very generous with aid https://www.uah.edu/admissions/undergraduate/financial-aid/scholarships/international, whereas the two flagships in Texas, A&M and UT, are not.
Another school in Texas with a very large Indian community, and a very good engineering school where you are admitted directly to the major, is the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA).
The in state tuition waiver is not just any scholarship totaling $4,000, they must be awarded by a Texas A&M University college or departmental scholarship committee or university representative. Many times, applicants will only be halfway to the total by May 1, when they must either decline their admissions or accept it and be prepared to pay out of state tuition if they don’t receive the rest over the summer. Each school in Texas is limited to the number they can award.
Here is the link to A&M tuition waivers http://scholarships.tamu.edu/Non-Resident-Tuition-Waiver
International freshmen are eligible for scholarships if you completed that portion on your Apply Texas or Coalition application. Here is a link to other scholarships for international students http://scholarships.tamu.edu/Additional-Scholarships.aspx
In reading your other threads, I too think you have some confusion over the in state tuition waiver. Hearing of someone in your neighborhood of receiving a waiver at UT with lower scores than you doesn’t make sense. While a 1470 is an awesome score, it’s not awesome by engineering standards at UT and A&M. While there will be lower ones at each, very high ones are not uncommon. UT can be stingier than A&M. They don’t have to offer incentives to get top students. Here is the link for the UT tuition waiver. http://catalog.utexas.edu/general-information/registration-tuition-and-fees/tuition-and-fees/tuition-waivers/
It is broken down by sections to who is eligible and as an international incoming freshman, it appears you only qualify for the top one. Teaching Assistants (TA’s) are usually graduate students, and certainly not incoming freshmen.
Also, know that the non resident tuition waiver does not exempt you from tuition. It only exempts you from the higher cost non resident tuition. You would still be responsible for tuition at the In State rate plus room and board and meal plan. For my Aggie, this semester for tuition and university fees was $6015.19. That DOES NOT include room and board, food/meal plan, books, laptop, sports pass, parking spot, shampoo, toothpaste, or deodorant. The spring usually runs about $4000 +/- because the $1800 in fees for the honor of being an Aggie, was paid in the fall.
Public state universities are supported by taxpayers of the state. While you could earn it (I rarely say never) as someone else advised “don’t count on any aid as an undergraduate international. Internationals and out of state US citizens are how universities make up for budget shortfalls. There’s absolutely no incentive for them to carry an international student financially”.
I am sorry to deliver what most likely seems like really crappy news and I don’t mean to shoot down your dreams but you need to go into this with all the knowledge you can and with open eyes. Each admissions cycle I see posters on this forum excited for their admissions only to be sadly disappointed later in the spring when the financials come out because A&M isn’t generous with aid to offset the cost of attendance for the majority of students and the only thing they are offered is the $5500 federal loan (not available to internationals) and the rest will be up to the applicant/parents/family.
