About the Scholarship

Mexican students at UT Austin can apply for TAMS, a waiver of the non-resident share of the tuition bill. Because the non-resident rate sits well above the Texas resident rate, the waiver is worth more than most cash scholarships the university offers international students.

The award is credited against tuition, so no money reaches your bank account. You remain responsible for the resident portion of tuition, for fees, and for housing, food and travel. Financial need is part of the test, and the number of awards each semester is small, so the process is competitive.

Applications go through LASSO, the university scholarship system, where the keyword ISSS lists the awards Texas Global administers. There are two windows a year, one in February for the autumn term and academic year, one in October for the spring and summer terms.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

Waives the non-resident portion of the tuition bill, leaving the resident portion of tuition, all fees and living costs with the student. The award is credited to the bill rather than paid out in cash.

Eligibility

Open to a limited number of students from Mexico who have financial need. The number of awards each semester is limited and the process is competitive, so meeting the criteria does not guarantee the waiver.

Eligible Countries

Limited to students from Mexico who can demonstrate financial need.
