Tuition Equalization Grant (TEG)

The Tuition Equalization Grant (TEG) is a state financial aid program administered by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. This grant is specifically designed for students who are pursuing their postsecondary education at private or independent nonprofit institutions of higher education located in Texas. The program helps offset the cost of tuition at these eligible non-public colleges and universities, making private higher education more accessible to Texas residents.

To apply for this grant, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA), depending on their residency status. Individual institutions use the data from these applications to determine financial need and award the grant funds to eligible students. Because funding is limited and distributed directly through participating colleges, applicants should consult with their institution's financial aid office to understand specific campus requirements.
