Texas A&M University-Commerce is dedicated to helping students attain a quality education. Numerous university scholarships are available to assist students with the costs associated with higher education. The general university scholarship application is accessed through the student myLEO portal. Some, but not all, of the competitive scholarship programs may act to reduce an out-of-state student's tuition charges from nonresident to Texas resident levels. This status is determined by legislative act and is subject to change. All students who have been admitted into the University may apply for scholarships. There are priority deadlines for aid with limited funding. Information on priority deadlines can be found on the Financial Aid and Scholarships website at: www.tamuc.edu/financialaid.
Freshman Entering Texas A&M-Commerce—Effective with the 2021-2022 year, incoming freshman students who have been admitted to the University, except those admitted through the Program for System Admission (PSA) program*, are considered for institutional freshman scholarships. Eligibility for a freshman institutional scholarship is based on class ranking and high school GPA. The institutional scholarships available to entering freshmen are the Blue and Gold and Presidential Scholarships. The review process does not guarantee that a student will receive a scholarship offer since funding is limited. For consideration of donor funded scholarships, students are encouraged to complete the General Scholarship Application in the myLEO student portal. Additional information is available at the Financial Aid and Scholarships website at: http://www.tamuc.edu/scholarships.
Transfer Students—Effective with the 2021-2022 year, students who have submitted official college transcripts to the Office of Admissions and have been admitted to the University will be considered for a transfer scholarship if they meet at least the minimum of 45 college-level credit hours or Associate’s Degree and minimum 3.0 GPA requirement. The review process does not guarantee that a student will receive a scholarship offer since funding is limited. Additional information is available at the Financial Aid and Scholarships website at: www.tamuc.edu/financialaid.
Financial Aid
A student planning to enroll at Texas A&M University-Commerce who seeks financial aid should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA). The FAFSA is completed at: www.studentaid.gov. Students who are not able to complete the FAFSA due to their immigration status may be able to file the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA). Requirements to complete the TASFA include Texas residency and eligibility to pay the Texas in-state tuition rate, not as the result of a waiver such as an in-state scholarship or an assistantship. Additional information on financial aid programs, requirements, etc. is available at: www.tamuc.edu/financialaid.
Most financial aid granted at Texas A&M University-Commerce is based upon a student’s financial need and is awarded on a priority basis according to the FAFSA completion date in our office. Dependent students who do not demonstrate financial need may be eligible for the Federal Student Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loan and for the Federal Parent PLUS Loan. More information about the Parent PLUS Loan and how to apply is available at: www.studentaid.gov. Programs with limited funding (TPEG, FSEOG, CWS, and other grants, but not the Federal Pell Grant) are awarded to eligible students on a first-come, first-serve basis. Priority for these funds is given to full-time students who have completed their financial aid file by the priority deadline. The State of Texas has set the priority deadline for the Texas Grant only to be January 15th. The priority deadline for other grants, except Pell, is January 15th. Academic progress and scholastic standing are taken into consideration when aid is awarded. Recipients are required to maintain and complete the number of hours for which they are paid. Pro-rated repayment of aid is expected from students who withdraw or drop hours. Information on requirements, priority deadlines, and standards of academic progress for financial aid eligibility can be found at: www.tamuc.edu/financialaid.
For the 2024-2025 award year, the priority deadline has been extended due to delays in the FAFSA simplification process. This is a temporary extension for the 2024-2025 year only. The current priority deadline is April 15. If any further updates are made to this deadline, the information can be found on our website at: https://www.tamuc.edu/fafsa-simplification-act/.
Withdrawing on Financial Aid/Return of Title IV Aid
A student who receives Federal Student Aid (Title IV aid) and withdraws, or receives semester grades of all F’s, or is suspended from the University during a term in which the student began attendance, will have his or her financial aid eligibility recalculated as prescribed by the 1998 amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965.
Federal Student Aid (Title IV aid) is earned in a prorated manner on a per diem basis up to and through the 60% point in the term. After the 60% point of the term, all aid is considered earned. The percentage earned is calculated by dividing the number of days completed by the total number of days in the term. It is the unearned percentage of aid that determines the amount that must be returned to the Federal Government (Title IV program(s)). The University, as well as the student, may be required to return the unearned portion of the Title IV funds to the Federal government. When the University returns its unearned portion of the Title IV funds, a portion of the student's institutional charges may be left outstanding. The University will require students to pay any portion of institutional charges that are left outstanding after the University returns Title IV funds. As a result of this process, the student may owe both the University and the Federal government.
Withdrawal Consequences for Financial Aid
When a student who is receiving Federal Financial Aid withdraws from a semester, the Financial Aid Office is required by the Department of Education to perform a Return to Title IV calculation. This Return to Title IV calculation is used to determine how much Federal Financial Aid the student had earned prior to the withdrawal using the student’s last day of academic engagement. If the calculation determines that the student has participated in over 60% of the semester, the student has earned all of their Federal Financial Aid for the semester.
If the calculation determines that the student has not participated in over 60% of the semester, then the Financial Aid Office is required to return any unearned Federal Financial Aid to the Department of Education. This return of Federal funding may result in a balance due to the university and the student would be required to pay this amount to the university.
Withdrawing from the semester may either place students on a Financial Aid Warning or a Financial Aid Suspension, depending on their current Satisfactory Academic Progress status. A student who is considering withdrawing is encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships for additional information.
Students may visit the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships website for the most up-to-date information on financial aid and scholarships.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Procedure (SAP)
The Higher Education Amendment Act of 1965, as amended, mandates institutions of higher education to establish a minimum standard of “Satisfactory Academic Progress” for students receiving financial aid. The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships has outlined the Satisfactory Academic Progress on the website at: www.tamuc.edu/financialaid.
For additional information, visit the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships website at: www.tamuc.edu/financialaid.
