Aug. 22 marked the first day of Vaquero Move-In Days, where more than 1,000 Vaqueros will move into dorm rooms on the Edinburg and Brownsville campuses this week. With the help of their anxious families, volunteers and UTRGV staff, Vaqueros are settling into their new homes for the academic year.
For some students, the day was extra special as they were moving in as the first cohort of the university’s one-of-a-kind, merit-based scholarship program – the Luminary Scholars.
The Luminary Scholars program covers full tuition and fees for all four undergraduate years, provides university housing for the first two academic years of college, and offers full tuition and fees for up to four years for the professional or undergraduate program to which the student is provisionally admitted, including the UTRGV School of Medicine and the School of Podiatric Medicine.
Move-In Days continue by appointment on Aug. 23 for freshmen and Aug. 25 for upperclassmen, returning students and special populations.
