SB 158 establishes the Texas Emergency Aid for Public Postsecondary Students (TEAPPS) grant program. It provides emergency financial aid grants of up to $1,000 to students facing unforeseen expenses that could hinder degree completion. Eligible institutions must allocate matching funds, adopt emergency aid policies, and partner with organizations offering wraparound support services. The program is capped at $2 million annually and prioritizes institutions with high Pell Grant or minority student enrollment.
