PHI THETA KAPPA SCHOALRSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Dear Dr. Clarke,

I am delighted to serve as the representative for Phi Theta Kappa students at Texas A&M University-Commerce. As a Phi Theta Kappa alumnus I have dedicated my time and efforts to reaching more Phi Theta Kappa students and providing them access to what I consider are the best scholarship offers in the nation. Texas A&M University-Commerce has been an institution of choice for Phi Theta Kappa transfer students for almost a decade.

I wanted to send this email to you in order to make you aware of some of the attractive scholarship packages we have available to Phi Theta Kappa students wishing to transfer to our institution.

Phi Theta Kappa Scholarships:

 

	GPA	Award Amount	On-Campus Housing**	General Criteria
Tier One	3.75	$3000/yr	additional $500/yr	45 transferable hours
Tier Two	3.50	$2500/yr	additional $500/yr	45 transferable hours
Tier Three	3.25	$2000/yr	additional $500/yr	45 transferable hours

 

Any out-of-state (non-resident) student who receives one of our academically competitive scholarships, valued at no less than $1000 per academic year, will receive an out-of-state tuition waiver. That’s right! Student’s receiving our scholarships may qualify for in-state tuition.

I will be delighted to speak with you on further opportunities available to your students. Included below is a guide which you may forward to your students who want information on transferring to Texas A&M University-Commerce.
