October 27, 2016 - Texas State Technical College is reporting a 17 percent increase statewide in students enrolled at all 10 of its campuses this fall.

Certified enrollment numbers grew from 11,316 in fall 2015 to 13,249 in fall 2016. Of this total increase, TSTC realized a 34 percent increase in new students, with returning students increasing 3 percent. Increases of traditional students set all-time records bested only by the increase at the height of the recession in 2009 that was driven by Pell Grant and dual-credit incentives.
