During the 87th Texas Legislature in 2021, Senate Bill 1888 established the Texas First Early High School Completion Program to allow public high school students who demonstrate early readiness for college to graduate early from high school.

The purpose of the Texas First Early High School Completion Program is to promote efficiency in the state public education system and incentivize the enrollment of high performing students at eligible institutions within the state of Texas.

The Texas First Diploma does not guarantee automatic admission for students. In conjunction with the Texas First Early High School Completion Program, participating students may apply for the Texas First Scholarship Program, which offers up to a one-year college scholarship for recipients. (Students can apply to any college or university they choose. However, the scholarship will only apply toward participating universities.)

For more information, click the flyer below.
