Hi! I live in Austin, TX and am a low income student, with a one salary household. I am considering applying to in state schools when I apply to college here in Texas. I want to Major in either Journalism, English or Business. What would be good schools for this that I could potentially get either a full or at least partial scholarship? (assuming I get in) what schools would be good for my major? Thanks!
@texaspg can you answer this?
Have you spoken to your high school counselor?
Here’s a 3rd party link - but you can look at each school’s financial aid portal to verify. I put a few from the schools themselves below. I also added the official UT sheet - so click on a campus and it will tell you about being low income. I even added a private - Texas Wesleyan.
Which is good? Any you can get into and afford. Obviously UT is the name and then A&M, Tech, Houston, etc. but Texas has fine colleges under the Texas name like UTSA, UTEP, etc. but also not - like Lamar, San Angelo State, etc.
I hope you get more info from others and perhaps the links below will help - but talk to your counselor at school - they likely have experience.

Ok, Thanks.
You can check each college’s net price calculator. For example:
