UNT Dallas ( @untdallas) just launched the Trailblazer Tuition Trust, a new program covering full tuition and mandatory fees for up to four years for qualifying freshman students pursuing their first bachelor's degree. The program is designed for Texas high school graduates from families earning $100,000 or less, and funding is delivered through a combination of federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships.

To qualify, students must be eligible for the Federal Pell Grant and Priority Texas Grant, be a Texas resident graduating from a Texas high school, and enroll at UNT Dallas. No separate application is needed. Students who meet the criteria are automatically considered.

The deadline to apply for Fall 2026 was June 1, but students are encouraged to get on the radar early for future cycles. To keep the award, students must maintain a 3.0 GPA, stay in good academic standing, and remain enrolled full-time each fall and spring for up to eight consecutive semesters.

UNT Dallas President Dr. Warren von Eschenbach announced the program at his May 1 investiture, calling it the centerpiece of a renewed institutional mission to make higher education accessible to those for whom it has historically been out of reach.

Swipe to learn more about eligibility, renewal requirements, and how this will help future students.

Great Britain won the boys' crown and Japan took the girls' title. We are so proud of Jeremy and Mattingly for representing North Texas and the USA on the world stage! 🇺🇸
