The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is now accepting files for the second reporting cycle for the FY 2018 (2017-18) FAD Report.

The CAL allocations are now available for institutions to certify eligible recipients for the 2018-19 academic year

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.
