The starting point
DRAFT: Texas College (a small private HBCU in Tyler, TX) publishes a clear three-tier freshman scholarship ladder (Presidential / Dean's / Honors) with stated GPA and ACT/SAT cutoffs — but every award requires a separate scholarship application and the top award covers only tuition, not room and board.
Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.
Awards to discuss
First 3 of 5 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.
Presidential Scholarship Program
