Student Financial Assistance

A&M-Central Texas offers student financial assistance in the form of loans, grants, and scholarships. Financial assistance resources from the university should be viewed only as supplementary to the financial resources of the applicant and family.  Graduate School students are only eligible for student loans, certain grants, and scholarships.

To apply for financial aid, a student must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. To determine your eligibility for need-based aid, we take into consideration the cost of attendance (COA) and your expected family contribution (EFC) as determined by the federal government from the information you provided on the FAFSA.
