If you have a college savings plan, choose the option below to find out how to use the plan that you've purchased.
In order to use your Texas Tomorrow Fund AKA Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan, you must upload a signed copy of your Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan ID card to our document uploader, which you can access via the button(s) at the top of this page. Students who do not have their ID card should contact Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan to request a new one. Texas State will automatically enter the benefit to the student’s tuition and fee account for the fall and spring semesters. Students who do not want to utilize their benefit for any fall or spring semester must contact TXST One Stop and notify them that they do not wish to use their Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan. This includes any student who is withdrawing from the University. Students who wish to use their Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan for summer sessions must use the document uploader to request the benefit be applied to their bill. PLEASE NOTE: There are some fees that Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan does not cover; such as, room, meal plans, BookSmart program fee, orientation fee, off-campus fee, electronic course fee and lab fees. Please review your student account each semester to verify if you have any charges that you are responsible for. Failure to make payment by the due date may result in the cancellation of your classes. Additionally, the deadline to submit requests for third party billing, which includes Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan, is the twelfth class day of the fall/spring term and fourth class day of a regular summer term.
To use your Texas Tuition Promise Fund, the purchaser of the Texas Tuition Promise Fund must contact Texas Tuition Promise Fund each semester that they want to authorize redemption of eligible tuition units and required fees. Texas Tuition Promise Fund will contact the University of the student’s eligibility, upon approval. You do not need to upload any documentation, nor do you need to contact the University. Please allow sufficient time for Texas Tuition Promise Fund to receive and approve your request prior to the due date. Although Texas State will apply the funds to the student account as soon as approval is received, the Texas Promise Fund provides access to approvals strictly on a weekly basis. For best results, the purchaser should authorize funds so that the approval is received one week prior to the due date. PLEASE NOTE: There are some fees that Texas Tuition Promise Fund does not cover. Please review your student account each semester to verify if you have any charges that you are responsible for. Failure to make payment by the due date may result in the cancellation of your classes. Additionally, the deadline to submit requests for third party billing, which includes the Texas Tuition Promise Fund, is the twelfth class day of the fall/spring term and fourth class day of a regular summer term.

The majority of savings plan payments are sent to the University as physical checks via mail.
