<p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:red;background:

available for both undergraduate and graduate students.</span></u></b>
For information on available scholarships you will need to contact the
Scholarship Office at 903-886-5096 or email <a
href="http://web.tamu-commerce.edu/admissions/tuitionCosts/financialAid/scholarships/scholarships@tamu-commerce.edu">scholarships@tamu-commerce.edu</a>.
You may also visit the website for your academic major at <a
href="http://web.tamu-commerce.edu/academics/azPrograms/default.aspx">http://web.tamu-commerce.edu/academics/azPrograms/default.aspx</a>
or visit the admissions offices to see if there are any scholarships available
on their sites. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#1F497D'>Unfortunately, the ISSO is
not involved in the scholarship process and we cannot provide information on
the application process or the status of your application so it is strongly <u>recommended
you refer all questions or concerns to the Scholarship office</u> at

<p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:red;background:

international students are eligible for- student worker (not work study) and
graduate assistantships.</span></u></b><u> <o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Current student worker positions available are listed at <a

International students are not eligible for work-study student worker
positions. Graduate assistantships are highly competitive as they provide
a larger semester salary and may include the in-state tuition waiver.
Current available assistantships may be found at <a

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Due to the current economic situation in the U.S., the
budgets of many universities and colleges are being limited which means there may
be fewer on-campus jobs and scholarships available for students. <b><u><span
