The amount of the scholarship award, when combined with all other grants or gift funds awarded to the student, shall not exceed 70 percent of the reasonable expenses to be incurred by the student in the semester or term for which the scholarship is awarded. Each student shall first use any other grant funds for support of educational expenses for which the student may reasonably be eligible before receiving state scholarship funds. A Line Item Scholarship application is required. Applications are available at the Financial Aid Office. The Texas Public Educational Grant is awarded to resident and non-resident students, including foreign students with financial need.
Priority is given to full-time students.
The College Work-Study Program allows eligible students to work between their class schedules. The College considers the work performed under the CWSP to be a part of the whole technical-vocational training experience. Good work habits established here can carry over to good work habits in industry. Therefore, continuing a CWSP job is not automatic, but depends on satisfactory work performance, acceptable scholastic standing at the College and enrollment status. For the CWSP, priority consideration is given to full-time students.
