How do you know if you qualify?
- You are a full-time (taking 12 or more hours) undergraduate business student who is currently enrolled in Mays and will continue next semester as an undergraduate.
- You have a GPR of 3.5 or greater - most of the scholarships we award require a minimum 3.5 GPR.
- You are classified as a U2, U3, or U4 at the time of application.
You will not be eligible for scholarships if you are:
- A fifth year Professional Program student enrolled as a graduate student effective fall 2009 - you are, instead, eligible to apply for graduate scholarships.
- A freshman (classified as U1 during the application period).
- A student graduating at the end of the spring, summer, or fall 2009 semester.
Application
A single application is used for all available Mays scholarships. By submitting this application, you are considered for all Mays scholarships for which you are eligible. These scholarships are available to students classified as U2, U3, or U4 at the time of application.
Application Deadline
Your completed application must be submitted online no later than 5 p.m.. on February 1, 2010. The application form will be unavailable after the deadline. Award decisions are made in early March and all applicants will be notified of their status.
Scholarship Payments
Scholarship payments are divided equally between the fall and spring semesters. If you are graduating early, you will be awarded only the fall semester payment, not the full scholarship. All scholarships require that you be enrolled in a minimum of 12 hours. Exceptions to this are made for graduating seniors and students completing internships.
- Graduating seniors enrolled in their last semester are required to be enrolled in a minimum of six hours.
- If completing an internship, the scholarship will be applied to the semester in which the student is completing the internship if the student is enrolled in nine or more Texas A&M University semester credit hours that semester. This requirement can be met by completing a minimester(s), Texas A&M University on-line courses, or independent study in absentia
- If the student is completing a fall or spring internship and is not enrolled in nine or more semester credit hours during the that semester, the scholarship may be applied to the summer session of that academic year assuming the student is a full time student during the summer. A full time student is defined as one enrolled in 12 or more hours for the summer.
- One-half of the scholarship will be forfeited if the student does not meet items #2 or #3 above. All scholarships must be paid in the academic year for which they were awarded.
