Opportunity Award Scholarship
Our 2009 Scholarship Application will be available in August **

General Information
Each year the San Antonio A&M Club Foundation presents the Opportunity Award Scholarship to outstanding students graduating from Bexar County high schools or who reside in Bexar County at the time of graduation. This scholarship is for four years and is currently $1000 per year. Primary considerations for the awards include academic achievement, involvement in extracurricular activities (excluding athletics), reasons for wanting to attend Texas A&M University and financial need. Applicants will be narrowed to twelve finalists who will be scheduled for a personal interview on Saturday May 3, 2008 with the Foundation’s Scholastic Review Board that will make the final selection.

Even prior to chartering the San Antonio A&M Club Foundation on October 21, 1982 , the San Antonio A&M Club had provided scholarships for two decades. It is most proud of its program and the outstanding individuals it has been able to assist. Please do not hesitate to call the Foundation at 341-1393, if we can be of any assistance.

Basic conditions of the scholarship are as follows:
A. The recipient must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPR (overall) and be in good standing during each of his/her four years at Texas A&M University to continue to receive this scholarship. Should the overall GPR drop below the minimum requirement, the recipient will be allowed a “grace” semester to raise his/her overall GPR to at least the 2.0 requirement. The scholarship may be revoked if the recipient has a satisfactory overall GPR, but has two consecutive semester GPR’s below 2.0. The recipient must assure that the Texas A&M University Registrar’s Office sends a copy of his/her grades to the San Antonio A&M Club Foundation for each semester.

B. The scholarship is for four years and is currently $1,000 per year. The funds are paid to the Financial Administrator at Texas A&M and the student may use them in paying tuition, fees, room and board. The student will not be drawing it in cash.

C. If the student enters a paid cooperative education program while enrolled at Texas A&M, the scholarship will not be funded during the cooperative program period.

D. Withdrawal or dismissal from Texas A&M will terminate the scholarship.
