Emergency and Short Term Loans
Emergency Tuition Loan
The emergency loan program is available for eligible students who do not have sufficient funds to complete their down payment for the payment plan. This loan only assists with the down payment for enrollment into the payment plan. You will automatically be enrolled in the payment plan beginning on the thirteenth class day of the fall/spring term and fourth class day of a regular summer term in order to complete the payment process. A $30 payment plan enrollment fee will be billed to your account. The loans are due within the semester borrowed and Texas State is your lender. Funds are limited so acceptance of an application does not necessarily indicate that funds are available.
A 1.25% origination fee is assessed in lieu of interest. Loans not repaid by the due date are subject to a delinquent charge.
*Please Note: Students enrolled in the Accelerated Online Program or the Accelerated Alternative Teacher Certification Program are not eligible for the emergency loan. Students enrolled in the Aviation Science Program cannot use the emergency loan to cover related flight course fees.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Be enrolled in the current semester*
- Unable to complete the 1st installment payment after funds from other sources have been applied

Short Term Loan
Short term loans are funds available to eligible students to assist with the cost of school related expenses.

The loans are due within the semester borrowed and Texas State is your lender. Loans not repaid by the due date are subject to a delinquent charge.
