The Texas Match the Promise Foundation℠ encourages families to save for college by offering competitive matching scholarships and tuition grants to students who are beneficiaries of a Texas Tuition Promise Fund® account — the state's prepaid college tuition plan.
Match the Promise scholarships help young Texans realize their dreams of a college education while also encouraging families to take steps now to prepare for their children's futures by supplementing their contributions to the Texas Tuition Promise Fund® (TTPF) – the state’s prepaid college tuition plan. The scholarships are awarded in the form of TTPF tuition units and can be used for undergraduate resident tuition and schoolwide required fees at Texas public colleges and universities, excluding medical and dental institutions.
The Texas Match the Promise Foundation is excited to announce matching scholarships worth up to $2,000 and one-time grants worth $3,000 at today’s prices. The Foundation is offering these increased scholarship awards to even more students by expanding the grade range for eligibility to third through ninth graders.
To apply for a scholarship, the Promise Fund beneficiary must be in grade three through nine and have a family income of $100,000 or less. Students must write a career essay and meet residency and other requirements.
The Foundation accepts scholarship applications Sept. 1 through Dec. 31. Families also can enroll in the Promise Fund during the scholarship application period if they have not already done so.
Match the Promise is funded by generous contributions from citizens, building a stronger Texas for tomorrow. Find more information, including how to donate to the foundation, online at MatchThePromise.org. You can also contact us via email or at 800-531-5441, ext. 3-7570, for additional information.
