## About this scholarship

The Texas Transfer Grant Program, administered by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, provides financial assistance to eligible transfer students. The program is designed specifically for students transferring into General Academic Teaching Institutions in Texas, though this excludes Lamar State College-Orange and Lamar State College-Port Arthur. Students transferring into Health Related Institutions are also eligible to participate. 

To access these state grant funds, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the state equivalent, the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA), which colleges use to determine financial need and eligibility. Individual institutions coordinate the distribution of these funds based on state guidelines. Because deadlines and specific application windows vary by academic year and institution, applicants should check the official page for current dates to ensure they submit their materials on time.
