Program Purpose
To permit junior/community colleges the opportunity to choose to offer students living outside their taxing district to pay in-district rates.
Eligibility Requirements
Students who:
- Reside outside the district and own property subject to ad valorem taxation by the district or their dependents, or
- Reside outside the district and in the taxing district of a contiguous public junior college district, or
- Reside outside the district but within the service area of the district (if the individual is not in an ineligibible independent school district and also demonstrates financial need).
Eligible Institutions
This exemption from out-of-district charges may be used at any public junior/community college in Texas which chooses to offer the program.
Application Process
The process for applying for a tuition waiver varies from college to college. Normally, the office of the registrar processes tuition waivers. However, waivers may also be processed by the admissions office and/or financial aid. The student must be able to provide the college or university with proof that he/she meets the program eligibility requirements.
Additional Information
- Generally, student eligibility for a waiver must be established prior to or at the time of enrollment. Contact your college for additional information.
