Student Financial Aid Programs

The Office of Student Financial Aid Programs (SFAP) supports institutions of higher education with the administration of state financial aid programs. We are committed to expanding financial aid knowledge through excellence in customer service, communication, and training for Texas students, borrowers, and institutions of higher education.

• THECB is aware of technical issues affecting the output data from the 2024-25 (FY 2025) Online TASFA, which is uploaded into MOVEit DMZ. Our technical team is actively investigating the root cause, and will notify institutions once the issue has been resolved.

• April 15, 2024, is the deadline for all private/independent institutions to submit a final Tuition Equalization Grant (TEG) Engagement Report electronically by uploading a copy using the TEG Engagement (FY 2023) Online Submission Form.
