## About this scholarship

The Texas Educational Opportunity Grant (TEOG), administered by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, provides financial assistance to students pursuing higher education within the state. This program is specifically designed for students attending community colleges, public state colleges (including Lamar State College-Orange and Lamar State College-Port Arthur), and public technical institutes in Texas. The grant helps cover the costs of tuition and required fees for eligible individuals enrolled in these institutions. 

To participate in the program, students must demonstrate financial need. Applicants typically establish this need by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the state equivalent, which colleges use to determine eligibility and distribute the funds. Because funding is limited, students are encouraged to complete their financial aid applications early. For information regarding application deadlines, see the official page for current dates.
