All scholarship recipients must be enrolled full-time (12 hours) for their scholarship to pay towards their account each full semester (fall and spring).

Scholarship recipients that begin their enrollment at Texas A&M University during or after the summer 2013 term (i.e. Class of 2017 and subsequent class years) are required to have earned 30 hours by the end of their first academic year, 60 hours by the end of their second academic year, and 90 hours by the end of their third academic year. An academic year entails the fall, spring, and summer terms. Hours earned via transfer credit, dual credit, and AP/IB testing may be used towards the completion of this requirement.

Students that began their enrollment at Texas A&M University prior to the summer of 2013 (i.e. Class of 2016 and prior class years) are required to enroll in and complete a minimum of 12 credit hours per full semester (fall and spring) at Texas A&M University.
