Pay for college in Texas

Texas's public scholarships

Texas families have two big levers: a guaranteed-admission rule for the top of each graduating class, and the need-based TEXAS Grant that pairs with it. Class rank does more here than almost anywhere.

GPA: Top 10% class rank (UT Austin caps at top 5%)

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 632 in 2018 to 696 in 2022 — over 4 years.
+10.1%
Why only 3 data points?

Private school enrollment comes from the NCES Private School Universe Survey (PSS), which is collected every other year — not annually like public-school data. The most recent published collection is 2021–22; NCES targeted spring 2026 for the 2023–24 release — we'll load it as soon as it's published.

For a more current snapshot, see St Francis Episcopal School's own published school profile (as of 2025-26): resources.finalsite.net/images/v1759418402/stfran… ↗

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 89 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $1,424,000/year in tuition upside.
