Pathway to Success

The University of Texas at Tyler
Guaranteed Tuition Program for Limited Income Families

Creating Solutions

Many of tomorrow’s problem solvers are a part of today’s limited-income families. By giving them this opportunity, we are creating solutions not just for them but also everyone they will help in the future.

Beginning fall 2007, the Pathway to Success Program will be UT Tyler’s guarantee of tuition to students whose family income is $25,000 or less annually.

“Some extremely gifted students feel that a university degree is not an option for them because their families cannot afford to pay for it. We want to help them realize their educational dreams.”

President Rodney H. Mabry
