  • The original beneficiary has not used any contract benefits.
  • The new beneficiary is a member of the beneficiary's family and meets residency requirements.
  • The new beneficiary is younger than 18 years of age and has not graduated from high school or 18 years of age or older and enrolled in high school at the time of the change request.
  • The new beneficiary cannot have more than five years of combined TGTP contract benefits.

Your payment of $50 payable to the Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan must accompany the completed form or it will not be processed.
