Grants and scholarships are valuable resources for funding your education. You could
call them education game changers. Not only do they not need to be repaid, but they
also open doors to other opportunities. Discover the benefits of grants and scholarships

Grants are funding that you don’t have to pay back and are sometimes awarded based
on financial need. See what grants you could qualify for and make college more affordable
for you!
Like grants, scholarships don’t have to be paid back. They’re given for financial
need, academic merit, and many other special criteria. Apply for a San Jac Foundation
scholarship or find scholarships outside of San Jac.

Texas Exemptions
Texas offers various programs that exempt or waive higher education costs for residents.
If eligible, these programs will allow you to attend a public college or university
without paying tuition. In some cases, it waives both tuition and fees. Certain nonresidents
may also be able to enroll and pay a reduced tuition rate through waivers. Learn more
