- Tuition
- Required Fees
- Books
- Housing
- Food
- Miscellaneous Expenses
- Partial Athletic Scholarship
\
Billing Explanation

- Athletic tuition and/or fee payments will appear on the student bill as ‘3rd Party Contract’ payments on the student account.
- A Book stipend does not disburse to the student billing account: it is a placeholder to reflect that a student-athlete is eligible to receive textbooks from the Texas A&M Bookstore as part of their athletic aid package.
- The Miscellaneous Expenses stipend disburses three times a semester.
- The Housing & Food Stipend disburses monthly or in one lump sum at the beginning of each term.

Non-Resident Tuition Waiver

Outside Scholarships

- All student athletes should report any anticipated aid via Teamworks on their Compliance Form, as well as the Report Outside Scholarships and Resources form on their Student Financial Aid Portal.
- Once a donor has awarded a scholarship, they are encouraged to send the scholarship check directly to Texas A&M. If the student-athlete receives the scholarship check directly, they should send the scholarship check via mail, or bring it in-person to the Aggie One Stop. Contact information for the donor (name, address, phone number, e-mail, etc) should be included with the scholarship check.
- All scholarships are reviewed by the Athletics Aid Coordinator and Athletics Compliance to determine if the scholarship is permissible. If approved, the scholarship is posted to the student-athlete’s fee statement.
