Amounts and how to maintain are listed in that.

Myself, along with about half my buddies, had the 1200/yr one. Had a few buddies that had the higher amounts but that largely depends on how you do in high school. If I remember right you could get upgraded during your time at A&M if you did well academically or in the Corps.

I've been involved with scholarships through the San Antonio A&M Club for well over 20 years and worked with the Corps Scholarship office. My contact has just retired and there is a new sheriff in town. I'm sure he can address your questions and concerns.

Started freshman year with $1200 per year. Made over a 3.5 GPA all freshman year. Sophomore year it was increased to $2500. Junior year GPA is still over a 3.5 cumulative GPA and scholarship is $4000 per year.

My son received a TASSP scholarship worth 10k per year.

If I recall you need either a Texas Senator or Congressman to sponsor. When we called around I was surprised that several did not receive a single applicant and urged us to submit. I think we called 6 or 8 offices and received either an offer or interview.

Thanks y'all. Thank God he is a sophomore in hs, so we have time to figure all this out.

Looks like it's back up to 10, I had this out of high school but I'm pretty sure my first two years it was 10k and then junior/senior year it was only 7.5k due to either a legislature change or state funding issue.

Also only a scholarship if you join the military, but it's not a bad rate if you don't join and it turns into a loan
