Partially funded

Texas Advance Commitment

University of Texas at Austin, United States

Scholarship overview

The Texas Advance Commitment is UT Austin's need-based tuition programme for Texas families from low- and middle-income backgrounds. First implemented in 2018 and expanded in 2020 and 2025, it covers tuition for eligible students with family adjusted gross income up to $100,000 and provides tuition support for incomes between $100,000 and $125,000.

Federal and state grants (Pell, FSEOG, Texas Grant) are applied to tuition first and the University funds the remaining gap.
