State Aid for Undocumented Students Senate Bill 1528 replaces House Bill 1403 and continues the eligibility of undocumented students to qualify as Texas residents if they have lived in Texas for the 36 months prior to high school graduation or the receipt of the GED. By meeting this residency requirement, such students are eligible to pay the Texas in-state tuition rate and are eligible to apply for some state student financial aid programs. Interested students must first complete either the FAFSA or the TASFA and submit it to the financial aid office.
