Application period opens for TXST Bobcat Cares funding

Texas State University students can now apply for federally-funded emergency assistance for the fall semester through Bobcat Cares.

The university announced approximately $40 million in funding is available to eligible students who are currently enrolled to help “lessen financial insecurity caused by the pandemic.”

University Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Gene Bourgeois said in a recent press conference that Texas State will effectively award the $40 million in one round during the fall semester.
