Dusty Promise: tuition and mandatory fees covered by gift aid for Texas students under the program's family income limit
Household income up to $100,000. Covers tuition, fees.
- The page prints the family income limit as $100K. A first-time freshman must be in the top 25% of the class or have a 980 SAT or 19 ACT, and a transfer student needs a 2.5 GPA. Both need unmet financial need and 12 hours by May 31.
“The Dusty Promise Program is designed to cover tuition and mandatory fees by first utilizing federal, state, and institutional aid, like Federal Pell and TEXAS Grants, scholarships and other gift aid. The Dusty Promise Program will cover any remaining tuition and mandatory fees not covered by these programs. Top 25% of HS or SAT (980+) or ACT (19+) Hand Holding Money Icon Must meet Financial Aid SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress) Hand Holding Money Icon $100K Family Income or Less Hand Holding Money Icon Unmet Financial Need”
How we worked these out
The family
A family of four with good parent credit and $500 a month to put toward college, and the savings you pick. In state, the grants are what Texas A&M International reports families at that income got, on average. Your own will differ, and a family with no aid pays close to the full price. Out of state, there are no grants: the price is before any scholarship from the college.
What a SmartTuition plan saves
The difference, over four years, between a SmartTuition plan and the standard approach: savings first, then loans for the rest. It counts loan interest and the federal tax credit.
The $4,700 in the “Pay less for college” box near the top of this page is the median saving in Texas A&M International's own scenarios. Each scenario is a household that lives in Texas, with an income from $45,000 to $200,000 and savings of none, $40,000 or $100,000 in a 529. We price Texas A&M International at the aid it reports for that income.
Every scenario has parents with good credit and $500 a month toward college. The card above uses the same two. A scenario where the parents would borrow more than $65,000 is left out.
The prices by income
- They describe students who got aid.
- “Over $110,000” has no upper limit, so it averages families just over $110,000 with far wealthier ones. A family at $115,000 should expect to pay less than it shows.
- Each range is reported on its own, so the prices do not always rise with income.
Where the prices come from
Where the prices come from: Texas A & M International University's own 2026-27 tuition, fees, housing, food and books, from its website, carried forward to 2027 at 3.0% a year. The grants are the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard (2025-26 figures), carried forward the same way. Each price after grants is the cost less those grants. The out-of-state figure uses the published out-of-state tuition instead. The average price after grants counts the students who get federal aid. Your own figure will be different.
Texas A & M International University's own budget for 2026-27 is $26,980. It also counts costs the university doesn't bill for, such as travel and personal spending. We leave those out.
