High school seniors who have been accepted for admission to the Zachry Department of Civil Engineering at Texas A&M may apply for one of our Benson Scholarships valued at $1,000 per year for four years. These scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis for the upcoming fall semester. To be considered, you should provide a copy of any recent scholarship application you may have completed that includes high school attended, class rank, SAT or ACT score and a list of high school activities and honors. Letters of recommendation and other supporting materials may be submitted but are not required and are not typically considered in the awards process. Submit all materials, in printed form only, to Dr. Harry Jones, Zachry Department of Civil Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-3136. Receipt of materials can be confirmed by sending your name to Dr. Jones at h-jones@tamu.edu. Announcement of winners will occur at time of award, but in no case later than March 1st.
The Zachry Department of Civil Engineering has numerous opportunities for its graduate students to obtain financial assistance through Assistantships and Fellowships. Unless the applicant has specified in the application that he or she will have external funding, either by a governmental agency or by industry, the Departmental Graduate Advisor assumes each applicant is in need of financial assistance.
All selections for financial assistance are competitively based but may also be based on the needs of the department and faculty researchers. Students holding assistantships qualify for Texas A&M employee benefits. Additionally, graduate students holding either a teaching or research assistantship, or a fellowship of $1000 per year, qualify for in-state tuition.
