5. Initial TEXAS Grant Recipients by Race
It is important to note that comparisons between FY2014 and FY2015 are difficult for reasons beyond the introduction of the Priority Model criteria: FY2105 data is preliminary; 2-year institutions were limited to renewal awards beginning in FY2015; and significant shifts in TEXAS Grant allocations occurred in FY2015 due to SB 28 changes. Due to the change with 2-year institutions, the data presented represents public 4-year institutions only. 5
