(not Texas Tomorrow or Texas Guarantee Tuition Plan) The purchaser of the plan must authorize Blinn for each semester the student intends to use the plan. You can authorize as many semesters as are available. Once you have authorized this plan, the Financial Aid Office will apply a contract for the tuition and fees.

Two ways to complete the authorization:

- Print, complete, and submit the Benefit Payment Authorization Form that can be found under the Forms and Materials section.
