RTICLE Any Texas resident can apply for admission to a public college in the state without a fee during the week of Oct. 13-19.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in cooperation with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board announced the initiative Sept. 2 in a press release. Free College Application Week is a statewide program that helps Texas residents apply to public colleges at no cost. Application fees range from $30 to $90 across the state on other dates.
”Texas prioritizes opportunities for students to pursue the best education they need to succeed in high demand, goodpaying jobs after graduation,” Abbott said. “During free college application week, Texans can apply to their preferred colleges or universities without application fees. By supporting our students today, we are investing in a stronger Texas tomorrow.”
