TAMUS Emergency Regent's Grant

The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) Emergency Regent's Grant provides limited emergency financial support to currently enrolled undergraduate degree-seeking Texas resident students who are unable to meet essential expenses due to unforeseen hardship. Decisions regarding disbursement of funds are made on a case-by-case basis. Awards are not considered loans and do not require repayment. Some funds may be considered income and are therefore subject to federal taxes. This grant will affect your financial aid package as it may not surpass your cost of attendance.

This is an annual assistance program if approved. This grant may cover school expenses such as tuition and fees, textbooks, lodging and meals.

For more information about the TAMUS Emergency Regent's Grant, please visit the Office of Financial Aid located at Zaffirini Success Student Center 214 or contact us at 956.326.2225 or email financialaid@tamiu.edu.

Regent's Application

  • Texas Resident seeking 1st Undergraduate Program.
  • Be in Good Academic Standing.
  • Student/Family FAFSA adjusted gross income must be between $40,000 - $100,000. In extraordinary circumstances, the university may request authorization from the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs to award a grant to a student above or below that criterion on a case by case basis.

DUSTY'S FOOD PANTRY 

No student should go hungry. There is a perception that if a student can afford to go to college, they can also afford food. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Dusty's Food Pantry helps currently enrolled students focus on their studies without having to face the burden of food insecurity. The goal is to provide a temporary supplemental supply of non-perishable goods to students who submit the required online form.

Contact the Office of Student Conduct and Community Engagement at 956.326.2265 or send us an email at scce@tamiu.edu
