The UT Board of Regents is expected Thursday to approve expansion of the Promise Plus program.
The UT System announced it’s expanding access to free tuition for undergraduate students at its nine academic institutions, including the University of Texas at San Antonio, starting in less than year. Families with adjusted gross annual income of $100,000 or less will be eligible, beginning in fall 2025, under a proposal approved Wednesday by the UT System Board of Regents' Academic Affairs Committee.
The question is what can you afford to put into the trust funds to get the annual revenue to buy down the tuition and fees. So right now, that’s where we are, at $100,000,” he said. “Hopefully in the future, we will increase the money going into the endowments, so we can raise that number. At this point, that’s the affordability for the system, what we can afford to put in there. “I think it’s one of the proudest accomplishments this board has made over the years,” Eltife said.
