The Brief A University of Houston student says she recently learned she would not receive the Texas Transfer Grant she expected. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2027, certain eligible transfer students will instead receive assistance through the TEXAS Grant program. The Texas Transfer Grant was designed to help eligible students transferring from two-year colleges to four-year universities complete their bachelor’s degrees. The change means students must meet the state’s TEXAS Grant eligibility requirements rather than automatically continuing under the previous stand-alone transfer grant program. Students with questions about their individual financial aid packages are encouraged to contact the University of Houston’s financial aid office directly.
