Why doesn Buff Promise apply to students already enrolled at West Texas A&M University?
The resources that make up Buff Promise (the federal, state and institutional grant sources and scholarships, including those provided by private donations raised through the WTAMU Foundation) are all available to current students. Most current students who meet the remaining criteria for Buff Promise will receive the same support as students entering fall 2008 or later. The one difference is that the Buff Promise “guarantee” formally applies to undergraduate students entering fall 2008 or later. The guarantee simply begins when the program begins, although the University remains committed to helping all students who demonstrate need. Furthermore, no resources for continuing students will be redirected for new students; the scholarship and state grant resource amounts for continuing undergraduate students have actually increased each year since the Buff Promise program began.
