MATCH THE PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS BEING ACCEPTED
Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced that applications are now being accepted for 2023-24 Texas Match the Promise Foundation awards.
The foundation, in cooperation with the Comptroller's office, encourages Texas families to save for college by offering awards to third through ninth graders who are beneficiaries of a contract in the Texas Tuition Promise Fund, which is the state's prepaid college tuition plan, and whose families have an adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less.
Match the Promise scholarships are awarded in the form of TTPF tuition units. Approved recipients can receive matching scholarships of tuition units worth up to $2,000 at today's prices, while top-scoring recipients also can receive one-time grants of tuition units worth $3,000 at today’s prices.
These scholarship tuition units can be used at Texas public colleges and universities, excluding medical and dental schools, for undergraduate resident tuition and required, schoolwide fees.
Applicants can apply through Dec. 31, 2023, by using the online application system or downloading an application form to mail.
Families can also enroll in the program during this time if they haven't already done so.
To be considered for an award, students must write a short career essay of 200 to 300 words and meet other requirements.
