Great stats! I wouldn’t call it stingy. A&M does award MANY scholarships, but most seem to be Need based or levels of National Merit. With so many high achieving applicants, TAMU doesn’t need to dangle or match scholarships, like many schools.
Since your son is NM Commended, that does help open the door. He ‘might’ be considered for Presidents Endowed, Lechner or McFadden Academic scholarship as a freshman.
I have a ‘23 Aggie, also NM Commended. She is PES (President’s Endowed). She was one of a handful her year that wasn’t full blown NM. A lot will depend on how many NM semi/finalist there are each year. And even if Commended, they look at VERY well rounded-high gpa/rank, awards, community service, leadership positions held.
He could also get a College of Ag departmental scholarship; that can come after freshman year, so be sure your son applies yearly for the Continuing Student scholarship link.
Don’t count on getting any scholarships, but be pleasantly surprised if he does get one/some!
