Texas Grant Program

The 76th Texas Legislature passed HB 713 which established the Texas Excellence, Access, and Success(TEXAS) Grant Program. The TEXAS Grant is available to students who qualify for the Texas Scholars Program and have financial need as determined by the college or university the student is attending. Colleges will use the federal methodology (FAFSA) to determine if a student has need and the amount of need required to qualify for the TEXAS Grant may vary from institution to institution. Students who qualify for the TEXAS Grant may qualify for the following maximum funding levels:

  • Four year colleges: $3590/yr (up to 6 years)
  • Two year colleges: $1270/yr
  • Technical schools: $1980/year

The TEXAS Grant Program is administered through the financial aid office of each individual college, so if you have completed the requirements for the Texas Scholars Program (completed the Recommended High School Plan or the Distinguished High School Plan) be sure to contact the financial aid office at the college of your choice to see if you can qualify for additional funding under the TEXAS Grant Program.
