Are you a Regents’ Scholar? Then the Engineering Success Program was created for you! We want to help you with the difficult transition from high school to college by providing you with peer mentors and tutors. The Regents’ Scholarship is designed to assist first-generation college students in achieving their educational goals at Texas A&M. The engineering branch of the university-wide program is housed under the Student Engagement for Academic Success (SEAS) Program. Regents’ Scholars must participate in the Learning Community and Student Success Seminar as stated in the Regents’ Scholarship requirements.
Learning Community and Student Success Seminar
This program was created specifically for first-generation college students in engineering to cultivate and impact retention by offering the following through CLEN 181:

- Cultural organizations
- Supportive communities
- High-impact experiences
- Experiential learning
