To be eligible for the Jaguar Promise you must meet one of the following criteria. 1) Be a high school student in the top 10% of your class or have earned at least 30 credits from a TEA Designated Early College High School, 2) Be a high school student in the top 35% of your class with an adjusted gross income of $70,000 or less, 3) Be a transfer student who has earned an associate degree or at least 60 college credits with an adjusted gross income of $70,000 or less. If you attend a charter school then you are still eligible to participate in the program. Unfortunately, homeschool students are not eligible for the Jaguar Promise. If you attend a non-ranking school then the University will accept a ranking letter from your high school to use towards your eligibility.
Once you are admitted to the University, you will be able to apply for scholarships via ScholarshipUniverse, an online tool accessible on the Financial Aid & Scholarships website. All institutional and external scholarships will be applied to the total cost of tuition, fees and books* first. If there is still a funding gap then the Jaguar Promise will kick in and will be added to your Financial Aid Award Offer. Any additional scholarships can be applied to housing, food, transportation and living expenses. The priority deadline to apply for additional scholarships is March 15, 2025.
