Toward EXcellence, Access, and Success (TEXAS) Grant

The Toward EXcellence, Access, and Success (TEXAS) Grant is a state-funded financial aid program administered by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. This initiative is designed to assist students who are pursuing higher education within the state. To qualify, applicants must attend General Academic Teaching Institutions in Texas, though students enrolled at Lamar State College-Orange and Lamar State College-Port Arthur are excluded from participation.

The program helps cover the costs of attending college, making higher education more accessible for eligible individuals. To be considered for this grant, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the state equivalent, which colleges use to evaluate financial need and eligibility. Funding is distributed directly through participating institutions. For current dates and application deadlines, students should see the official page for current dates.
