Math/Science Scholarships

PALO ALTO COLLEGE/TAMU TEAM UP
TO OFFER MATH/SCIENCE SCHOLARSHIPS

SAN ANTONIO— Palo Alto College (PAC) and the Texas A&M University College of Science are teaming up to make the dream of achieving a four-year math or science degree a reality for high school and college students by offering up to $10,000 per year in scholarship assistance for any unmet financial needs.

Backed by a five-year, $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, the two partners have established the Science Scholars Program which will provide scholarships for undergraduate students majoring in biology, chemistry, mathematics or physics who begin their studies at PAC, a two-year program, then transfer to Texas A&M to complete their four-year degrees.

San Antonio area high school students that have dual credit or participate in a Campus Connections/PAC Access project, and are in the top 10 percent of their class with a minimum Math SAT of 550 are eligible for the program. Students must also be financially eligible as well. Current PAC students with an overall 3.0 GPA and majoring in biology, chemistry, mathematics or physics will also be considered.

The deadline to apply for the scholarship is May 1. Additional information and a scholarship application can be found at www.science.tamu.edu/sciencescholars/.
