Aggie Assurance

Texas A&M University has provided tuition support since 2008, by pledging tuition coverage to low- and middle-income families through the Aggie Assurance commitment. Tuition and fees will be covered by grants and/or scholarships for students whose family income and assets are less than $60,000 and have financial need.

The Aggie Assurance commitment was expanded to provide tuition support grants for undergraduate students. Tuition support grants* range from $500 to $1,500 and are based on income and having financial need.

*Subject to funding availability and could be discontinued with the upcoming academic year 2024-2025.

Students enrolled in a degree-seeking program at College Station, Galveston, or the Health Science Center will be considered for Aggie Assurance. Tuition support grants will continue to be available only to students enrolled at Texas A&M University-College Station.

The Aggie Assurance commitment promotes affordability and encourages Texans to pursue higher education at a flagship, research institution.
