COMPTROLLER’S OFFICE ACCEPTING MATCH THE PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS THROUGH DEC. 31
The deadline is approaching for families to apply for Texas Match the Promise Foundation scholarship awards.
The Texas Comptroller’s Office is accepting scholarship applications through December 31st.
Match the Promise scholarships are for third through ninth graders who are beneficiaries of a Texas Tuition Promise Fund (TTPF) account, the state's prepaid college tuition plan; whose families have an annual income of $100,000 or less; and who are Texas residents and the dependents, for tax purposes, of Texas residents.
Approved recipients can receive matching scholarships of tuition units worth up to $2,000 at today’s prices, while top-scoring recipients can also receive a one-time grant of tuition units worth $3,000 at today’s prices. The tuition units can be used for undergraduate resident tuition and schoolwide required fees at Texas public colleges and universities, excluding medical and dental institutions.
To be considered for a scholarship, students must write a career essay of 200 to 300 words and meet other requirements. If approved, recipients have until August 31, 2023 to meet the contribution requirement of the scholarship program by contributing at least $50 to the student’s TTPF account.
