General Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for funding through the federal and state financial aid programs, a student must meet the following general eligibility requirements:

  1. Be a United States citizen or an eligible non-citizen as defined in the FAFSA. Limited state funds may be available to Texas residents who do not meet eligibility requirements as a United States citizen. Contact the Office of Financial Aid for more details or go to the financial aid webpage at https://txwes.edu/admissions/scholarships-and-aid/.

  2. Be a regular student working toward a degree or certification at Texas Wesleyan University. Certificate only students are not eligible for financial aid.

  3. Have received a high school diploma or its equivalent.

  4. Be making satisfactory academic progress toward a degree or certification as outlined in the University catalog in this Financial Aid section.

  5. Be current on prior educational student loans, or have made satisfactory arrangements to repay a defaulted student loan.

  6. Not owe any money on a federal grant previously received, or have made satisfactory arrangements to repay a federal grant.

  7. To receive federal loans, students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 hours for undergraduate students and 5 hours for graduate students) at Texas Wesleyan University for the semesters for which you are applying for aid. Undergraduate students enrolling at less than half-time study may only be eligible to receive prorated institutional funds and prorated Federal Pell Grants if eligibility is demonstrated through the FAFSA.
