Early College High Schools
Our Early College High Schools allow students to earn a high school diploma and up to 60 hours of college credit or an associate degree—at no cost to families. Through partnerships with higher education institutions, students gain real-world experience and a head start on their college journey.
This means by graduation, many students could have two years of college already completed, saving families thousands of dollars in tuition.
- UT Austin, they could save up to $32,760.
- University of the Incarnate Word (UIW), up to $36,000.
- Texas A&M, up to $26,880.
- UTSA, up to $17,980.
These savings cover tuition alone — room, board, and fees are not included. By the time they graduate, students could start college ahead of their peers, saving both time and money.
