The Texan Grit Fund, established by philanthropists Nancy and Ted Paup, assists upper level students barred from registration due to unforeseen financial barriers.
The Paups believe that if the students have the grit to make it in the classroom, then they deserve the support of special resources. Senior-level students in good academic standing who can graduate in one or two semesters may receive financial help from this fund in order to pay past-due balances on their accounts
