Required Student Action

If you’ve been awarded a scholarship from an outside donor, congratulations! As soon as you learn the great news, let us know.

Your donor may send us your scholarship check made co-payable to both you and Texas State. If so, we will contact you to come to our office and endorse the check so that we can begin processing your scholarship funds.

We prefer that your donor send us your scholarship check. If your donor mails the funds directly to you, you are required to notify us immediately. This measure will ensure you are in compliance with federal and state regulations and reduce the chances of your having to repay other types of aid (for example, grants and loans).

  • Copy of your registration bill.

However, if you donor requires an official enrollment verification document, you will need to contact the Registrar's Office.
