Texas State University Scholarships 2027 for International Students

Texas State University, in San Marcos between Austin and San Antonio, offers generous merit scholarships to new first-year students, and international students are eligible.

Assured Scholarships (for students with SAT or ACT scores)

Merit Scholarship (no SAT/ACT needed)

• For students without SAT or ACT scores who are in the top 35% of their graduating class (or IB/AP Capstone)
• Amount varies, based on an academic review and available funding
• Students are usually told within two weeks of acceptance

Pay Texas resident tuition

If you receive at least US$1,000 in Texas State competitive or merit scholarships, you may qualify for a non-resident tuition waiver, which means paying the much lower Texas resident tuition rate.

Keeping your scholarship

• A 3.25 cumulative GPA at Texas State
• Complete 28 credit hours a year
• Remain an undergraduate without a bachelor's degree

How to apply

1. Apply for admission to Texas State University for fall 2027.
2. Send your SAT or ACT scores and your school's class rank, if available.
3. Apply through BOSS (Bobcat Online Scholarship System) for extra competitive scholarships.

Tips

• Take the SAT or ACT if you can. The best awards depend on test scores.

• Apply early. Merit awards are limited by funding.
