Tuition Rebate Program
Texas Education Code 54.0065 established a tuition rebate program for certain undergraduate students, according to legislation passed in 1997 by the 75th Texas Legislature and amended in 2003 by the 78th Texas Legislature. The website http://collegefortexans.com includes information about the tuition rebate program that includes a directory of institutional contacts. Senior universities are required to provide students with forms and instructions for requesting the rebate at the time the student applies for a baccalaureate degree. Students may qualify for a $1,000 rebate if they have attempted no more than 3 semester credit hours in excess of the minimum number of hours required for the baccalaureate degree. Students initiating their undergraduate education at San Jacinto College should carefully follow approved degree plans in order to be considered for this program.
The primary purpose of the Financial Aid Office is to provide financial assistance in the form of grants, scholarships, loans and employment opportunities to qualified students who, without such assistance, would be unable to attend college.
