High-performing high school students would get a first shot at the state's main financial aid program for poor students under a bill approved by the Senate Wednesday.
The bill by Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, chairwoman of the Senate Higher Education committee, would create a priority funding model for the TEXAS grant program. The grants are currently given out on a first-come-first-serve basis but the bill would give those who meet certain criteria, such as high grade point averages, top class ranking and having taken advanced curricula, first access.
