A Gift Sweeter than Candy

Texas families can give their little valentines a gift sweeter than any candy — tuition units paid for through the Texas Tuition Promise Fund® (TTPF), the state’s prepaid college tuition plan. With more than 42,000 enrollments and growing, TTPF marks its 10th year of helping Texas families achieve their children’s college dreams. 

Participants in TTPF purchase tuition units using one of the plan’s flexible payment options. These tuition units can be used later toward undergraduate resident tuition and school-wide required fees at Texas public colleges and universities. The current open enrollment period began Sept. 1, 2018, and runs through Feb. 28, 2019, allowing families to lock in 2018-19 prices for all or a portion of these costs. Residency requirements apply.

“Planning for your children’s future education is a precious gift that will last long after this Valentine’s Day,” says Comptroller Glenn Hegar. “TTPF offers a way to help Texas families begin saving for future tuition and school-wide required fees at Texas public colleges and universities at today’s prices.”
