A third-party sponsor is an outside organization or entity who has agreed to pay all or a part of a student’s tuition and fees. Third party sponsors who wish to cover some or all of the charges on a student’s account are invoiced by the University for those charges. A third-party sponsor is not a tuition reimbursement. Tuition reimbursement is an agreement between the student and a third-party sponsor in which the sponsor reimburses the student after the student has remitted payment for tuition and fees.

Examples of Third-Party Sponsors:

  • Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan
  • Texas Tuition Promise Fund
  • Texas Workforce Commission (DARS)
  • AmeriCorps
  • Employers
  • Independent School District
  • City, County, State or Federal Government
