• Apply for admission to any Texas public university, as well as to participating community and private colleges.

• Apply for undergraduate, international and graduate admission.

• Copy a submitted application to another institution.

• Submit your application essays online.

• Apply for scholarships from participating universities.

• Search for and view both general and university specific information.

Please read through the informational pages of this website before you begin using this site.

We wish you the best on your journey to college!

Basic Eligibility Criteria

Basic eligibility requirements are that you must

• demonstrate financial need (for most programs);

• be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen;

• have a valid Social Security number (with the exception of students from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, or the Republic of Palau);

• be enrolled at least half-time to be eligible for Direct Loan Program funds;

• maintain satisfactory academic progress in college or career school;

• sign the certification statement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid(FAFSA®) form stating that

  1. you are not in default on a federal student loan,

  2. you do not owe money on a federal student grant, and

  3. you will use federal student aid only for educational purposes; and

• show you’re qualified to obtain a college or career school education by

  1. having a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent such as a General Educational Development (GED) certificate;

  2. completing a high school education in a homeschool setting approved under state law (or—if state law does not require a homeschooled student to obtain a completion credential—completing a high school education in a homeschool setting that qualifies as an exemption from compulsory attendance requirements under state law); or

  3. enrolling in an eligible career pathway program and meeting one of the "ability-to-benefit" alternatives described below.

The Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) is used to collect information to help determine eligibility for state financial aid programs that are administered by institutions of higher education in the state of Texas. Students that are classified as a Texas Resident who cannot apply for federal financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are encouraged to complete the TASFA. To review the FAFSA filing requirements, visit studentaid.gov or visit the financial aid office at the institution you plan to attend.

The Texas state priority deadline for many institutions of higher education is January 15, 2023 for the 2023-24 award year. It is recommended that applicants complete and submit this application and any other required documentation to the financial aid office prior to the state priority deadline date.

Attention

The 2023-2024 Online TASFA is not yet available. To ensure students can maximize financial aid funding, we are encouraging students to complete the paper TASFA starting Oct. 1, 2022. Please follow up with the college you plan to attend to confirm the application process and to determine if additional documentation will be needed.

ETS focuses on aiding our students by promoting scholarships that help them towards their post-secondary education. We promote various scholarships that range from local, state, and national Scholarships. Our students have won various scholarships such as the LULAC National Scholarship, Jefferson Alumni Scholarship, US.Dream Scholarship, EPISD Scholarship, Hispanic National Scholarship, TALAS Scholarship, UTEP Academic Scholarships, EPCC Scholarships, and various other scholarships. We help our students through the scholarship process to ensure that they send out the best application. 

The Dual Credit Program at EPCC offers fundamental core courses to qualified high school students. The college course is a replacement rather than an addition as students take just one class, the college course, and earn both high school and college credit. The courses are taught by instructors credentialed by EPCC. One of the goals of the program is to provide a positive collegiate learning experience for participating high school students. Courses we have offered are EDUC 1300, SPEECH 1321, PSYC 2305, ENGL 1301, HIST 1301, GOVT 2305 and 2306, and PHIL 1301.
