Texas A&M University (TAMU) has joined a wave of public universities in Texas decreasing costs for incoming college students by offering “free” tuition, as higher education policies in the state government continue to diffuse through public institutions.
In an announcement released last month, TAMU stated they are taking “two major steps” to keep “Aggie education within reach” for students and families. The university will freeze undergraduate tuition and fees through the 2026–2027 school year, and beginning in the fall 2026 semester will “expand the Aggie Assurance program on the College Station campus” to include families with up to $100,000 in “income and assets.” Previously, the Aggie Assurance program was offered to families with up to $60,000 in income and assets.
