Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) A student may not receive a TEXAS Grant after having already being granted a baccalaureate degree.

(b) A student may not receive a TEXAS Grant for a semester in which he or she is enrolled for fewer than six hours.

(c) Unless granted a hardship postponement in accordance with § 22.231 of this title (relating to Hardship Provisions), eligibility for a TEXAS Grant for a student whose eligibility for an initial year TEXAS Grant was not based on the receipt of an associate degree ends:

(1) five years from the start of the semester in which the student received his or her first disbursement of an initial year TEXAS Grant, if the student is enrolled in a degree program of four years or less;

(2) six years from the start of the semester in which the student received his or her first disbursement of an initial year TEXAS Grant, if the student is enrolled in a degree program of more than four years.

(d) Unless granted a hardship postponement in accordance with § 22.231 of this title, eligibility for a TEXAS Grant for a student whose eligibility was based on receiving an associate degree ends:

(1) three years from the date of the semester in which the student received his or her first disbursement of an initial year TEXAS Grant if the student is enrolled in a degree program of four years or less;

(2) four years from the date of the semester in which the student received his or her first disbursement of an initial year TEXAS Grant if the student is enrolled in a degree program of more than four years.

(e) A student's eligibility ends one year from the date of the semester in which the student received his or her first disbursement of an initial year TEXAS Grant, if the student's eligibility was based on the expectation that the student would complete the initial year grant requirements as outlined in § 22.228 of this title (relating to Eligible Students), but the student failed to do so. However, if such a student later receives an associate degree and again qualifies for TEXAS Grants, he or she can receive an additional three years of eligibility if enrolled in a degree program of four years or less, or an additional four years if enrolled in a degree program of more than four years.

(f) A student's eligibility for a TEXAS Grant ends once he or she has attempted 150 semester credit hours or the equivalent unless the student is granted a hardship extension in accordance with § 22.231(d) of this title.

(g) A person is not eligible to receive an initial year or continuation grant if the person has been convicted of a felony or an offense under Chapter 481, Health and Safety Code (Texas Controlled Substances Act), or under the law of any other jurisdiction involving a controlled substance as defined by Chapter 481, Health and Safety Code, unless the person has met the other applicable eligibility requirements under this subchapter and has:

(1) received a certificate of discharge by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice or a correctional facility or completed a period of probation ordered by a court, and at least two years have elapsed from the date of the receipt or completion; or

(2) been pardoned, had the record of the offense expunged from the person's record, or otherwise been released from the resulting ineligibility to receive a TEXAS Grant.

(h) Other than as described in § 22.231 of this title, if a person fails to meet any of the requirements for receiving a continuation grant as outlined in § 22.228(b) of this subchapter after completion of any semester, the person may not receive a TEXAS Grant until he or she completes a semester while not receiving a TEXAS Grant and meets all the requirements as outlined in § 22.228(b) of this subchapter as of the end of that semester.
