Types of Aid

Depending on your family’s income and your academic and extracurricular accomplishments to date, financial aid may be available to you in many different forms.

  • Scholarships: Are funds that do not require repayment and are awarded based on merit, need, and achievement in academics, athletics, the arts, or other scholarly areas.
  • Grants: They do not require repayment and are awarded based on financial need.
  • Loans: Are available at the state and federal levels and repayment typically begins six months after you’ve graduated or dropped to less than half-time status. There are also parent loan programs.
  • Work-Study: These programs and campus employment will enable you to earn money that can offset educational costs. 

There are other forms of financial assistance, including institutional aid programs, tuition funding for military veterans and their families, and waiver programs from the state of Texas that allow certain out-of-state or nonresident students to pay in-state tuition.
