Scholarship Opportunities for Graduate Students
West Texas A&M University offers a number of competitive scholarships to students pursuing graduate degrees. The priority date for all University scholarships is Feb. 1 for the next academic year, for full consideration of awards. Awards will be made based on the availability of funds.
To be considered for a scholarship award through the Graduate School, students must generally meet the following requirements:
- Complete the general scholarship application
- Be in a graduate degree-seeking program
- Be registered for a minimum of six (6) graduate hours in the upcoming semester towards your degree
- Maintain at least a 3.0 GPA in graduate coursework
- Complete the FAFSA and show financial need
The Graduate School only has eligible scholarship funds for graduate degree-seeking students at this time and will not be able to award second bachelor or non-degree seeking students. However, we still encourage you to submit the general scholarship application for potential consideration by other offices.
Academic departments and other University departments also award scholarships to graduate students. Although the criteria may vary, most are awarded to resident and non-resident students based on academic excellence, leadership, or special talents.
For summer awards, visit the Graduate School’s website at https://www.wtamu.edu/academics/graduate-school/financial-information/Scholarships.html after April 1. Submit the summer scholarship form in addition to other requirements listed above.
