As a Texas non-profit, we are dedicated to improving lives by promoting college affordability and helping students and parents save money on their student loans.
Who We Are
The Brazos Higher Education Service Corporation, Inc. (Brazos Higher Education) is a Texas non-profit corporation that is headquartered in Waco, Texas. We are not affiliated with any colleges or universities.
Brazos Higher Education has been dedicated to providing low cost assistance for higher education to Texas families for over 40 years.
We passionately believe that higher education enriches lives! Texas student loans have proven to be a needed resource to help students and parents finance higher education, and Brazos Higher Education has been an integral part of financing more than 2 million student loans.
In 2018, Texas lost a long-time leader and true champion of higher education when Brazos Higher Education’s founder Murray Watson, Jr., passed away. Mr. Watson had a deep passion for education and said, “I have always believed that education is the one thing that can’t be taken away from a person, and I want to create ways to make higher education more accessible to young people.” At Brazos, we continually strive to carry on Mr. Watson’s legacy and commitment to higher education.
