On July 9, 2018, the 10-day allocation data review materials for the TCWS Mentorship program were issued to institutions. Institutions were invited to confirm that the “TCWS Mentorship Preliminary Allocation Calculation Data” accurately reflected the data submitted to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). Institutions were allowed 10 days to review the data. That period ended at the close of business on July 23, 2018. Through this process, THECB received no comments about the data.

Enclosed is the 2018-19 application for the Educational Aide Exemption (EAE) program.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) is required to provide an accessible tool for estimating the cost of attendance (COA) for full-time entering first year students attending institutions of higher education in Texas.

A notification was sent out April 20, 2018, announcing that effective May 14, 2018, the CAL program will carry a fixed interest rate of 5.30 percent. In that notification, we indicated that all CAL certification processing should be discontinued until May 14th, thus giving the impression that no CAL certifications would be accepted before then.

Effective May 14, 2018, the interest rate on all College Access Loans will be 5.30 percent.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) invites all Regional Education Service Centers or other entities that offer Alternative Educator Certification Program the opportunity to participate in the state loan program to receive CAL funds.
