The University of North Texas will offer free tuition to families who meet certain criteria starting in the 2026-27 school year.

The breakdown: The new initiative, called the North Texas Promise Program, will give first-time college freshmen living in Texas the opportunity to earn an undergraduate degree without paying tuition or the mandatory fees, UNT announced in a Jan. 14 news release.

The program covers four years, or eight consecutive semesters. The fees will be compensated by a combination of federal, state and institutional grants, according to UNT’s website.

What they're saying: “With the North Texas Promise, more outstanding Texas students will be able to access a college education that prepares them to unlock their full potential,” UNT President Harrison Keller said. “I am proud we are able to offer this program grounded in our core values and our commitment to create enduring value for the public good.”
