Texarkana College’s donor-funded last-dollar scholarship serves high-school graduates from the college’s service area entering in Fall 2026 or later. It may allow students to complete up to 60 credit hours or an associate degree tuition-free after eligible grants and scholarships are applied. The official list names specific districts and schools; simply living in Texarkana does not establish eligibility.
The fund covers remaining tuition and, beginning Fall 2026, certain dual-credit fees not paid by FAST. It is not a universal grant for books, housing, or transportation. The Fall 2026 cohort required admission and application steps by February 6, 2026, a date that has passed; the page directs students to confirm later-cohort eligibility with the college.
First compare your high school with the public-school partner list, apply for admission, and ask the Promise team to confirm your graduating class. File FAFSA and any requested aid documents so the college can calculate remaining tuition. If you earned dual-credit hours, check the page’s separate GPA and prior-credit rules for graduates with dual-enrollment histories.
Rules may change by cohort, and the 60-hour ceiling is not a guarantee that every student will finish debt-free. Other aid applies first and may reduce the remaining balance; non-tuition charges may remain the student’s responsibility. Ask in writing what happens if you change programs, take fewer credits, or transfer.
Read the program profile and the official FAFSA application guide; ask the college to confirm your individual package.
To compare this award with another college offer, ask for an itemized estimate: covered tuition and fees, other grants applied first, and the balance you would still owe. Keep confirmation of every form, and when the program requires it, submit the FAFSA or CADAA for the correct academic year. An advertised maximum or the phrase “free tuition” does not automatically include books, housing, transportation, or terms the program excludes.
