The purpose of the Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG) is to assist students with demonstrated financial needs. Although nonimmigrant students paying the resident tuition rate may apply, primary consideration will be given to those students paying the non-resident tuition rate because of the limited amount of money available. The grant will not provide the resident tuition rate. Applications for academic year (Fall 2024 and Spring 2025) must be submitted online no later than Wednesday, May 1st, 2024 at 5pm.
