[QUOTE="MAcFroggy, post: 2733566, member: 70009"] Wonder if this will be a set amount of money no matter what, or if it will "bridge" to the full tuition amount. For instance, if tuition is 10K, and an individual receives a $5K pell grant would the student still get the full tuition scholorship ($10K) or would they just receive what gets them to full tuition payment (additional $5K)? Either way, this is great for the state. I think Texas has done a great job with its public universities. The requirement that 90% enrollment must come from in-state might rub some elite academics the wrong way, but I think it is a great use of state money. If tax money is being used on the university, then we need to make sure that it is educating people from our state. I know a lot of people hate the top 10% (8%, 7%, 6%, or whatever it is now) rule, but it is a great way to ensure people throughout the state are can get a great education. The top % rule and the full tuition scholarship together will be a great way for students from all over the state to receive a great education with far less student debt than the past (and many other states).
