Tuition Rebate for Certain Undergraduates

In accordance with State law, a qualified student is eligible for a rebate of a portion of the undergraduate tuition the student has paid if the student:

1. is awarded a baccalaureate degree from a Texas public general academic teaching institution;
2. has attempted no more than three hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete the degree, including transfer credits and course credit earned exclusively by examination; and
3. has been a resident of Texas and entitled to pay resident tuition at all times while pursuing the degree.

The amount of the rebate is $1,000 or the amount of undergraduate tuition paid by the student to the institution awarding the degree, whichever is less. If the student paid additional undergraduate tuition to other Texas public institutions of higher education, the student may qualify for an additional rebate by providing the degree-granting institution with proof of such payments. In any case, the amount of the rebate is a maximum of $1,000.

A student who has transferred from another institution of higher education must provide the degree-granting institution with an official transcript from each institution attended so that the total number of hours attempted by the student can be verified.

If the student has an outstanding student loan, including an emergency loan, owed or guaranteed by the State, including the Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation, the degree-granting institution will apply the rebate to the student's loan. If a student has more than one outstanding loan, the institution will apply the rebate to the loans as directed by the student. If the amount of the rebate exceeds the amount of the loan indebtedness, the student will receive the excess amount.

Information pertaining to the tuition Rebate Program is presented to students during new student orientation. Additional information pertaining to the Tuition Rebate Program for undergraduate students may be found on the TSTC Marshall website or may be obtained from the Admissions Office.
