State Scholarships
The Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program (TASSP) aims to incentivize students to pursue a baccalaureate degree and join the Texas Army National Guard, Texas Air National Guard, Texas State Guard, United States Coast Guard, United States Merchant Marine, or any branch of the United States armed services as commissioned officers. The governor, lieutenant governor, state senators, and state representatives have the authority to appoint students and alternates to the program. Prospective candidates must meet specific criteria and are responsible for securing an appointment for the TASSP. The application process varies by legislator, and successful applicants will receive a Notice of Selection via email. Get more details on the application process.
Recipients of the TASSP scholarship are required to sign a promissory note, acknowledging the conditional nature of the scholarship and agreeing to repay the scholarship amount, along with applicable interest, late charges, and any collection costs, including attorney’s fees, if they fail to meet certain conditions.
Amount: The annual scholarship award amounts are determined and announced annually by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
