Project Complete Grant helps students complete degrees in North Texas
Thanks to Governor Abbott’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund, several North
Texas higher education institutions have teamed up to pay tuition and fees for hundreds
of students who can come back and complete their degree.
1. Be a Texas Resident.
2. Not have enrolled in or attended any institution of higher education in fall 2021
but have previous college credit.
3. Complete the 21-22 FAFSA (for spring and summer 2022) and/or the 22-23 FAFSA (for
fall 2022) at www.studentaid.gov and be eligible for aid. This is a last dollar award that can only go toward tuition
and fees.
4. Affirm that the coronavirus pandemic has had an impact on your life.
5. Be willing to accept free grant aid between $500 - $2500 that you don’t have to
pay back to help you graduate!
Each institution may have differing administrative and qualification procedures. The best way to find out if you qualify is to reach out to the contact at the institution you will be completing your credential.

The Texas Reskilling Support Fund Grant Program stems from the allocation of $175 million provided to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board from the Governor’s Emergency Educational Relief (GEER) Fund. GEER dollars, in turn, originate from the U.S. Department of Education’s administration of the Education Stabilization Fund in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020. The CARES Act (HR 748/S 3548 of the 116th Congress) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The Project Complete Consortium has been provided with a portion of these funds to administer to qualifying students to support their degree and credential completion.
