[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 2733971, member: 61297"] It’s the UT System endowment. Remember, UT and A&M (at a lesser %) are beneficiaries of the massive oil and gas revenues from state-owned minerals. The value of those minerals are included in the endowment value. The UT System regents have set aside a relatively small part of the endowment to fund this UT-Austin tuition/fee exemption program. I’m really impressed by the move. It’s a phenomenal way to deliver opportunity to underserved populations. A question was posed about the difference of the top 5% at Highland Park and Poly. Not touching that with a 10-foot pole. But will say that nearly every family with a kid at HPHS can afford to pay full cost at UT-Austin. This policy makes true access to a UT-Austin education, and not just admission to the school, much closer to equal for those top 5% auto-admits. That’s going to make a difference in what auto-admit students actually end up attending from schools in lower socio-economic demos—especially for students in big, urban schools. [/QUOTE]
