Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG)
Download Application: TPEG
Application
The purpose of the Texas Public Education
Grant (TPEG) is to assist students with demonstrated financial
needs. Although nonimmigrant students paying the resident tuition
rate may apply, primary consideration will be given to those
students paying the non-resident tuition rate because of the
limited amount of money available. The grant will not provide
the resident tuition rate. Applications will be available in
March for the following academic year.
What are the Minimum Eligibility Requirements?
Applicants must:
-
Complete a minimum
of 12 credit hours (9 hours for doctoral) for the last Fall
semester at UH. Concurrent enrollment or excused drops do
not count toward full-time hours.
