HB 936 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the withdrawal or revocation of an athletic scholarship by a public institution of higher education on the basis of a student athlete's injury, illness, or disability.

HB 936 prohibits public Texas universities from revoking athletic scholarships due to student athletes' injuries, illnesses, or disabilities - including mental health conditions - regardless of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. The bill only allows scholarship revocation if the injury or disability resulted from the athlete violating the institution's student code of conduct. It applies to all athletic scholarships awarded for the 2025-2026 academic year and beyond. This directly affects student athletes at public Texas colleges who might otherwise lose financial aid after medical issues.
