2016 Scholarship Application
The Texas Aggie Bar Association (“TABA”) is made up of Aggie pre-law students, Aggie law
students, and Aggie lawyers. Each year the TABA funds scholarships to assist Aggie law students
with law school expenses. You are eligible for this scholarship if you meet the following criteria:
either (1) you are a student or Former Student that has completed at least 40 undergraduate hours
at Texas A&M University and will be beginning or otherwise be in law school in the Fall of 2016,
or (2) you have been accepted to Texas A&M University School of Law and will begin enrollment
at or otherwise will be attending Texas A&M University School of Law in the Fall of 2016.
If you are an eligible student or Former Student of Texas A&M University, you do not need to be
accepted into law school to apply for this scholarship; however, scholarship recipients must
provide proof of law school enrollment/registration as a condition for the release of scholarship
funds. If you are applying for this scholarship as an accepted student of Texas A&M University
School of Law, your enrollment at Texas A&M University School of Law is a condition for the
release of scholarship funds, and failure to enroll at Texas A&M University School of Law will
result in forfeiture of your scholarship funds.
By applying for this scholarship, you authorize TABA to add your contact information to its
database and communicate with you using that contact information. If you later choose to opt out,
you may do so.
