My stats were slightly better if not on par with yours. So I am guessing you have a pretty good shot at something. However, I am fairly sure that many other universities will offer you more money than Texas A&M (as was my case). TAMU is a school you go to for many reasons (quality of education,campus environment, etc.) , but scholarships are simply not one of those reasons for the MAJORITY of people.

The honors website list that there are 300 four-year President’s Endowed Scholarships and 150 four-year Lechner or McFadden Scholarships which are 12k and 10k respectively(total not per year). If you are not NMF, the money will pretty much stop there. You may also get a departmental scholarship or another small university scholarship, but nothing even near as substantial as the two other two I just listed. If you are NMF, you get all these and more until you have a full ride. So, I would say the scholarships here are on par with those of the large four year universities, maybe even a bit worse.
