Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG) (

The purpose of the TPEG is to assist students with demonstrated financial need. The TPEG is available to non-immigrant students in F-1 status at Texas State. The grants are not sufficient to meet all educational expenses. Most awards will range from $250 - $2,000 per semester and should be viewed as supplemental funds only. The grant is not an academic competitive scholarship. Consequently, it does not provide a waiver of non-resident tuition.
The application form and the all required documentation must be submited by the required deadline to the International Office - Texas State University San Marcos.
Eligibility Requirements (TPEG)
-
Students must be in non-immigrant F-1 student status. Students maintaining valid status will be given priority.
-
Students must be in good academic standing. Students may not be on probation or suspension.
-
Students must be enrolled and attending full time at Texas State University and must maintain satisfactory academic progress. (Concurrently enrolled hours do not count toward the full-time hours needed to qualify for the grant.)
-
Undergraduate students – Full time attendance is a minimum of 12 semester hours each fall and spring; 6 hours in summer.
Graduate students – Full time attendance is a minimum of 9 semester hours for each fall and spring; 5 hours in summer.
-
Verification of grades and hours completed to determine academic progress will be made after the end of each long semester and summer session. This information determines a student’s eligibility for the continuance of an award or the granting of a future TPEG award. Enrollment status will be audited after the university’s official census date (12th class day for the long semesters and 4th class day for the summer sessions).
-
In most instances, first semester students are not eligible.
-
Failure to maintain the conditions of the grant may be grounds for cancellation of the grant and loss of future eligibility.
