College & career readiness in Texas
Texas pairs Personal Graduation Plans and HB5 endorsements with CCMR accountability — and requires every senior to complete the FAFSA/TASFA or opt out. It's one of the most fully-specified CCR landscapes in the country.

Work-based learning & financial aid in Texas
Work-based learning
Industry-based certifications drive CCMR points, P-TECH schools blend high school with credentials and work experience, and career and technology programs carry weighted funding.
FAFSA & financial aid
FAFSA or TASFA completion is a graduation requirement (with a signed opt-out) — campuses must track every senior's status.
