Texas First Scholarship Program

The Texas First Scholarship Program, administered by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, is designed for eligible students who graduate early from high school. This state initiative aims to reward students who accelerate their high school completion by providing financial assistance to help cover the costs of attending a participating college or university in Texas. To participate, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA), which helps institutions determine overall financial need and coordinate state aid packages. The scholarship funding is applied toward tuition and other educational expenses at eligible Texas institutions. Interested students should consult with their high school counselors and college financial aid offices to ensure they meet all academic and residency requirements. For current deadlines and detailed application timelines, applicants must see the official page for current dates.
