The BAA accepts applications and awards TCU undergraduate students who are rising juniors or seniors (53 hours successfully completed by end of term) with financial need, are low-income, first-generation, or who come from communities underrepresented in higher education who have a 2.0 or higher GPA. Students of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Completion of the 2026-2027 FAFSA (https://studentaid.gov) or TASFA is required in order to determine eligibility.
