In response to the financial burden created by the COVID-19 crisis, Texas State University has expanded its free-tuition Bobcat Promise program for incoming freshmen.
The university announced Monday that the Bobcat Promise program would be available for Texas students with a family adjusted income that doesn’t exceed $50,000. The university’s qualification for the program previously was set at a family adjusted income of $35,000. The program’s expansion aims at giving Texas students an increased opportunity to attend the university despite the financial uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Expanding the Bobcat Promise program is a critical step we can take to ease the stress and financial burden on Texas families during this difficult time,” Texas State University President Denise Trauth said. “It’s not only good for these students and their families, but for the workforce of our great state which needs the innovation, brilliance and determination of our Bobcat graduates.”
