TASFA Resources for Institutions
Overview
The Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) is a free application that collects information to help determine eligibility for state (or institutional) financial aid programs administered by institutions of higher education in the state of Texas. Students classified as Texas residents who are not eligible to apply for federal financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are encouraged to complete the TASFA.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has extended the 2025-26 (FY 2026) state financial aid priority application deadline to February 15, 2025, in response to the U.S. Department of Education announcing in August that the 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form will open on or before December 1, 2024. This extension is authorized under Texas Administrative Code 22.6(3).
