Tuition Equalization Grant (TEG), Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Grant (LEAP), and Special Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Grant (SLEAP). These need-based grants are awarded to Texas residents to help them meet the cost of attending a private university in Texas. Trinity offers a companion program to TEG of the same amount to qualified out-of-state students, called Institutional Tuition Equalization Grant (ISTEG). LEAP/SLEAP are matching federal funds that must be matched with TEG. Since funds are limited, priority in awarding will be given to students who demonstrate significant financial need. Institutional, State and some Federal funds are limited each year based on funding notices and allocations received from the University Board of Trustees, State Agencies and the Federal Department of Education.
