Texas Advance CommitmentIntl eligibility unclearThe school does not say whether international students can get this scholarship, so “Cost for a year” at the top does not subtract it. Ask the school before counting on it.Need-basedNeed-basedAwarded on family financial circumstances, usually via the CSS Profile or the school's own form.Application method unclearSchool page
The page only says the program is for in-state students with family AGI up to $125,000. It never mentions international students or explicitly excludes them, so we cannot conclude they are ineligible.
