Exemptions & Waivers
An exemption or a waiver is a payment of all or part of a student's tuition and fee bill. Effective Fall 2014, Senate Bill 1210 (83rd Texas Legislature, Regular Session) adds a 2.0 Grade Point Average requirement for persons to receive continuation award through the program. The Bill also establishes a Limit to the Total Number of Hours, cumulative, that a student may take and continue to receive award through the program. Texas Education Code: TEC 54.014
Some Exemptions and Waivers may require the Statement of Eligibility for State Funded Programs form. Please check with Student Financial Services if this is a required form for your exemption or waiver.
