[Cheri Davis]

Did you know that the East Texas A&M University has been investing in the Texas Space Grant Consortium (TSGC) for nearly 20-years?  The reason this is important is you are now eligible to apply for an award.

TSGC Members value investing in YOU!   All you need to do is complete and submit your application before the due date which in October 31, 2025.  I encourage you to apply now, don't wait.  The applications are processed as they are received.  Awards are usually paid in 2 stipends, one in the fall the second in the spring.  These awards are paid directly to those students selected, not through the university.

We generally have about 3-4 awards annually for our university students.  Funds are spread across all of the member institutions so apply for those awards! The graduate awards are $5000 and undergraduate awards are $2000.  These funds will easily cover the cost of a new computer, tuition for a class, possibly books, or perhaps a little cushion in your bank account until you need it.

The application process is easy.  Answer a few essay questions to show that you are a good investment and submit your transcripts.  You will be asked for a contact for a recommendation letter, pick your favorite faculty member and ask them if they are willing to write a recommendation for you.  With their blessing, submit the faculty member's name and email and they will receive a direct link for your recommendation. SUBMIT EARLY so your favorite faculty member has time to submit that important information on your behalf.
