Externally Funded Fellowships for Graduate Students

Texas A&M encourages graduate students to apply external fellowships. To ensure that full funding packages are competitive with top graduate funding, we offer supplemental (or top off) funding through the Graduate Recruitment, Enhancement and Travel (GREAT) Program

Supplemental Funding for External National Fellowships through the Graduate Recruitment, Enhancement and Travel (GREAT) Program 

To attract high-achieving graduate students to our graduate and professional programs, Texas A&M’s Graduate Recruitment, Enhancement and Travel (GREAT) Program supplements external fellowships and federal training grants, and covers travel expenses for qualified prospective students with external fellowships to visit our campus.
