Senate Bill 1037 amends the Education Code to entitle certain Olympic athletes residing and training in Texas to pay tuition and fees at the rates provided for Texas residents at The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College as long as they are training in a Community Olympic Development Program or at a U.S. Olympic training center or facility in a program approved by the sport's governing body. The bill provides that such students are not considered Texas residents for purposes of state financial aid programs.
