The Texas Nursing Scholarship is designed to support students pursuing a professional nursing degree by providing financial assistance to help cover the costs of tuition, fees, and other educational expenses.

• Applicants must be enrolled or accepted into an accredited nursing program in Texas.
  • Undergraduate students must be enrolled in at least six credit hours
  • Graduate students must be enrolled in at least three credit hours
• They must be Texas residents.
• Students must demonstrate financial need.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) is proud to introduce the Texas First Program, which recognizes high-achieving students. Eligible students can graduate early with the Distinguished Level of Achievement and receive a scholarship.

The Texas First Program is designed to help Texas' top students stay on a direct path to higher education. Students can accelerate their college journey and earn up to one year of scholarship funding to attend Texas A&M International University (TAMIU).

Program Details:
Students who graduate early and earn a Texas First Diploma are eligible for a one-year scholarship. Those who graduate two or more semesters early will receive a two-semester scholarship, while students graduating one semester early will receive a one-semester scholarship. Students may also be eligible for additional financial aid at participating institutions. Eligibility is determined by your high school counselor—TAMIU does not determine eligibility for this scholarship.

The Texas First Program does not guarantee automatic admission to TAMIU. Students who graduate early with a Texas First Diploma may apply to any college or university of their choice, but the scholarship will only apply at participating institutions.

The scholarship offer will expire at the end of the first academic year following a student's graduation, so students are encouraged to attend college immediately after high school.

How do I apply for this scholarship?
Please meet with your high school counselor, who will determine your eligibility. TAMIU does not determine eligibility for this scholarship.

How do I notify TAMIU that I am a recipient of this scholarship?
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board will issue a certificate to eligible students.
