You've
been planning and preparing for your University of Texas experience for
ages. You know which school you'd like to attend, what you want to
study, and which housing option is right for you. One question remains:
How will you pay for it?
Since you're planning to attend a school in the University of Texas
System, you could be eligible for its free tuition program. Sound too
good to be true? Read on.
In a bold initiative, the University of Texas System has announced
plans to bridge the tuition gap for students who need it most.
Specifically, seven of the nine Texas colleges (Arlington, Austin, El
Paso, Pan American, Permian Basin, San Antonio, and Tyler) in the system
have pledged free tuition and fees for Texas residents from families
with an income level of $25,000 or below. Note: This is a substantially
lower income threshold than what has been set by wealthier public and
private colleges with similar programs.
