Scholarships

Some scholarships for international students do exist, but they are very limited and are competitive based. Students should conduct a research in their home country to find possible funding from local government, corporate, or foundation sources.

Applicants from Mexico

TSTC Harlingen waives the out-of-state tuition for eligible applicants from Mexico.

Who is eligible?

• Residents of Mexico and currently living in Mexico
• Resident of Mexico temporarily living outside of Mexico with definite plans to return to Mexico
  
  (Applicants from Mexico planning to stay in the United States indefinitely are not residents of Mexico.)

How much does it cost?

Eligible students pay tuition equal to that charged Texas residents provided the student has demonstrated a financial need.

**Students who have lived in the U.S. for at least three years, who entered the U.S. with no legal visa, and have graduated from high school in the U.S. are allowed to pay in-state tuition rates. They may also be eligible for certain state aid. These students are considered to be HB1403 students.
