The Waterman Scholarship is available to new and continuing full-time domestic and international graduate students at Texas Tech University. Applicants must plan to apply their education in Mexico and must have earned a degree from a higher education institution in Mexico.

Master's students will be eligible for $4,000 per year for up to two years, and doctoral students will be eligible for $4,000 per year for up to three years, provided the student remains enrolled as a full-time student and makes satisfactory progress in that program toward their degree throughout the duration of the award.
