Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets Scholarships for Scouts are awarded each fall semester to 20 Scouts entering the A&M Corps of Cadets. Each $2,000 scholarship pays $500 per semester for the cadet's first four semesters. Criteria used for selection are as follows: acceptance for admission to Texas A&M; intention to join the Corps of Cadets; attainment of Eagle Scout rank at the time of selection; demonstration of leadership qualities during high school; and attainment of academic excellence in high school.

Applications, which may be obtained from the Office of the Commandant, Texas A&M University, must be accompanied by two letters of recommendation that are supportive of the selection criteria.
