Freshman Scholarships

Scholarships

Scholarships are a great way to help cover your educational expenses. Incoming Texas State freshmen have three categories of academic scholarships available to them: National, Assured and Competitive. You can stack scholarships and combine them with financial aid up to the cost of attendance.

National Scholarships

Automatically awarded to qualified students upon admission.

Assured Scholarships

Automatically awarded to qualified students with a test score upon admission.

Merit Scholarships

Awarded on the basis of an academic review for students applying without a test score.

Competitive Scholarships

Awarded on the basis of a student's scholarship application.

Not A Texas Resident?

You could still qualify for resident tuition

If you qualify for at least $1,000 in Texas State competitive or merit (e.g., National and Assured) scholarships, you may receive a nonresident tuition waiver (granting you Texas resident tuition for the same period covered by your scholarship).

If qualified, the department that awarded you the scholarship will complete the appropriate nonresident tuition waiver form.
