For University Scholarship Administrators
The Texas A&M University System Internal Audit Department has deemed Scholarships & Financial Aid as responsible for general oversight of university scholarship processing. In such, Scholarships & Financial Aid is required to request and facilitate self-audit and compliance reviews of University scholarship awarding units to ensure compliance with University Rules and Regulations as well as donor intentions.
Below are links to resources and forms available to University scholarships administrators. Some links provide access to administrative systems that require access requests and training.
University staff and administrators may contact the Scholarships Office at (979) 845-3982 or fellowschol@tamu.edu with questions and concerns. Students may email scholarships@tamu.edu with questions and concerns.
