Texas Reskilling Support Grant
The Texas Reskilling Support Grant will support eligible UTSA undergraduate students who had to leave UTSA due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This grant will support these students to come back and re-enroll at UTSA to complete their degree program*.
Background: UTSA received a $300,000 grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to provide emergency educational aid for undergraduate students affected by COVID-19 who previously stopped out of higher education without completing a degree. This funding will allow these students to return to their institution to get back on track toward graduation.

Award Amounts
Award amounts can vary and will not exceed $2,500. This grant funding can cover tuition, fees and related expenses per semester through Fall 2022. This is a last-dollar grant program, meaning that it will only cover directly billed tuition and fees that are leftover after other grants and scholarships are awarded. Please note, this funding is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
