 About AusPrEP Minimize
  

Austin Pre-freshman Engineering Program (AusPrEP) is one of the Texas Pre-freshman Engineering Programs (TexPrEP) located on

college campuses in Texas.   PrEP was founded to identify high achieving middle and high school students with the potential and interest

in becoming scientists and engineers and to reinforce them in the pursuit of these fields.  TexPrEP began in 1979 at the University of Texas

at San Antonio under the leadership of Dr. Manuel Berriozabal and has been recognized nationally for preparing students for college

engineering and science studies.

 

 AusPrEP will not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, sex, color, age, handicap, or national origin in selecting students for participation

nor in the administration of this project.    AusPrEP strongly encourages women and students from minority groups, who have been

traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering, to apply for participation.

 Program Information Minimize
  

 

Applicants should have a B or better average in their academic courses, especially in mathematics.

 

The program hours are scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. daily. 

On field trip days hours may vary because of field trips or other activities. All participants are expected to attend daily. 

 

 All classes give assignments and examinations.  Participants are expected to do the work required and to maintain a minimum average of 75% in AusPrEP courses. If a first-year student fails to score 75% or better on the first logic examination, the student is subject to dismissal from AusPrEP.  Students who complete the assignments should meet this standard. 

 

Unexcused absences from the program or acts of misconduct may result in immediate dismissal from the program.  Students with three or more excused absences may be asked to leave the program after individual consultations.  Students are expected to abide by HT and AusPrEP rules given by the program staff.    

 

All program functions, except field trips, are held on Huston-Tillotson University Campus.  Program staff is available for supervised research and individual consultations. 

    
 Financial Information and Financial Aid Minimize
  

AusPrEP will continue to assess reduced fees for participants who qualify for free or reduced lunch.   Fees for non-qualifying students will be based on a sliding scale and range from $75 to $300 for AusPrEP and $50 - $160 for the Pre-Algebra Institute.

 

Each student is expected to provide each day his/her lunch and transportation between home and Huston-Tillotson University.  Lunches purchased on campus are $3.00 each day for students not eligible for Financial Aid. Applicants’ parents or guardians must complete and sign a lunch disclosure/release form to be considered for financial aid.  This form authorizes the applicant’s consideration for eligibility to receive free or reduced lunch for the session.
