Beginning in fall 2024, the Blinn College Austin County Scholarship provides up to $1,000 in tuition support for Austin County residents for up to one academic year. The scholarship covers both academic transfer and career and technical education courses, as well as both credit and non-credit courses. Students may use the scholarship to attend any Blinn campus or complete courses online.
This scholarship has no need requirements and disburses on a “last-dollar basis,” meaning that scholarship funds will be applied toward eligible students’ tuition costs after all other financial aid awards have been applied toward their balance. Scholarship funding covers up to 12 credit hours per semester (as well as non-credit classes) and is available for up to one year after students have graduated high school or earned their high school equivalency.
The scholarship is made possible with the support of the Blinn College Foundation.
