Good Neighbor Scholarship 2020-2021

This state of Texas scholarship provides a complete waiver of tuition to eligible international students from countries in the Caribbean and North, Central, and South America. Scholarship winners must still pay all applicable university fees. Applicants compete with other international students from their home countries throughout the state of Texas for a limited number of awards that are given to a certain number of students from each country. Competition is intense, and final award decisions are made by The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, not Texas A&M University-Commerce. The application period generally begins early February of each year and is open until the end of February or early March.

Deadline to receive completed application is 5 pm on Wednesday, March 4, 2020.
