Application Fee
TXST Admissions requires a nonrefundable application fee of $75 ($90 for international).
You may pay the application fee on the Future Bobcat Portal as soon as you receive confirmation your application has been received. Log on to the portal using the button below.
International applicants, non-degree seeking students, and applicants seeking a second bachelor's degree are not eligible for a fee waiver and are required to pay the application fee.
Fee Waivers
TXST Admissions is committed to making college accessible and affordable. Students who demonstrate financial need may be eligible for an application fee waiver.
Eligibility for Fee Waiver
Application fee waivers are available for first-time freshmen, transfers, and returning students whose FAFSA indicates Pell Grant eligibility.
Fee Deferral for First-Time Freshmen Only
First-time freshman applicants may qualify for a fee deferral, allowing payment of the application fee to be postponed until the applicant is billed for their first semester, where it may be covered by any financial aid received. If a student is later confirmed to be Pell Grant eligible, the application fee will be waived.
Students who qualify for an application fee waiver or deferral will also have their on-campus housing rent prepayment deferred by the Department of Housing and Residential Life and their New Student Orientation fee deferred by New Student and Family Experiences.
How to Request a Waiver
Applicants who believe they meet the criteria for a fee waiver will have the opportunity to certify their eligibility directly when applying through ApplyTexas, the Common App, or the TXST App. In most cases, no additional documentation is required. However, Texas State University reserves the right to verify eligibility and may request supporting documentation.
