Grants

A grant is a type of financial aid based on financial need that the student does not have to repay. At HSC, grant award amounts vary from $500 to $2,000 depending on availability of funds per award year, terms enrolled, and program of study. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to students with the most need (based on student’s SAI) and may include one of the following:

TPEG Resident or TPEG Non-Resident (Texas Public Education Grant)

• Limited funds available- awards are first-come, first-served
• Must have exceptional need
• Must enroll at least half-time (in a degree-seeking program)
• Must meet Financial Aid SAP
• Must be registered for the Selective Service or be exempt from this requirement

HSC Tuition Grant

You are automatically considered for grants when you submit your FAFSA and are admitted to HSC.  Texas residents who are non-U.S. citizens can submit a TASFA.  Funds are limited, so APPLY EARLY.
