We are pleased that you are interested in applying for a Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism Scholarship! Your candidacy speaks highly of your academic success and commitment. Generous donors who have created the scholarships did so with the intention of supporting outstanding students like you! Graduate Scholarships available are listed below
Scholarships are available to current HMGT Graduate Students who will be full-time students (at least 9 TAMU credits) for both the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters. Students who have not yet completed one semester at Texas A&M University (and therefore do not yet have a GPA on record) will not be considered for scholarships. The GPA is one aspect of the selection process, but the thank-you letter, resume and application are also important.
