The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) supports students who are, were, or have parents who are or were migratory or seasonal farmworkers, helping them succeed during their first year of undergraduate studies at Texas A&M International University.
The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) serves the higher education needs of migratory students at Texas A&M International University. CAMP will support students’ desire to achieve a college education. CAMP is funded by the U.S. Department of Education and adheres to the federal definitions for migrant and seasonal farm work. To qualify for CAMP, students must meet the admission requirements for Texas A&M International University, be a U.S. citizen or a legal resident.
Often the first generation in their family to attend college, CAMP students are welcomed to the University by a supportive team dedicated to helping them succeed. Working collaboratively with academic support services across the University, students receive continuous and responsive support. In addition, opportunities for cultural enrichment and community service will be provided.
