HB1454 amends the Texas Education Code to prohibit institutions of higher education from offering tuition waivers or reductions based on a student's income, household income, or legal guardian's income.

Institutions may still waive tuition and fees for students enrolled in courses fully funded by federal or other sources, but they must apply the waiver to all students in good academic standing in those courses and may not base waivers on financial hardship.
