Transfer students have the distinct opportunity to be considered for Transfer Student Merit Scholarships, explained Laura Elizondo, TAMIU Financial Aid director.

"TAMIU's automatic transfer merit  scholarships are  awarded to students transferring to TAMIU in the Fall or Spring semesters," she said, "These scholarships, the Presidential Transfer Award and the Achievement Transfer Award, are automatically awarded upon admissions to the university to qualified students meeting their criteria."

To be eligible for the Presidential Transfer Award, a student must transfer with 45+ applicable credit hours, but no more than 90 transfer credit hours and a 3.75+ GPA. For the Achievement Award, students must transfer with 45+ applicable credit hours, but no more than 90 transfer credit hours and with a 3.50+ GPA, Elizondo said.

Transfer students also have the option to apply for TAMIU's General Scholarship. The Scholarship closes on July 31, Elizondo said.

Additionally, this Fall, TAMIU students seeking a degree will be the lucky beneficiaries of a pilot program, TAMIU Books IncludED, providing all TAMIU required textbooks and course materials free of charge.

TAMIU Books IncludED delivers course materials to students in multiple formats, including E-book (digital), open educational resources, and print.  Students who opt not to receive free digital textbook and course materials will be able to purchase physical materials. 

"TAMIU opens an impressive gamut of opportunities to students, including research under the guidance of gifted faculty, over 100 student clubs and organizations, an engaging arts and culture scene through its Center for the Fine and Performing Arts, as well as athletics and  recreational sports activities so that they can experience a full University life while they pursue their degrees," said Jessica Treviño, TAMIU Recruitment director, "The time is now for students to transfer to TAMIU and find their path forward at the University’s 300-acre campus in Laredo."
