TWU enrollment, merit scholarship numbers grow

Texas Woman’s University officials announced that the number of students, merit scholarship recipients and credit hours all grew compared to 2024 data.

The university’s total population in 2025 as of the 12th day of class Sept. 10 was 15,424, according to a news release. The student population grew by a little more than 1% in 2025, which was bolstered by a 4% growth in Texas Woman’s University’s graduate student enrollment.

Additionally, the percentage of students receiving merit scholarships at the university as of Sept. 10 is 50.6%, compared to 48.1% in 2024.

“The increase in the number of merit scholars is directly attributable to a program the university launched in 2021 to provide more scholarships to high-achieving high school students, which means Texas Woman’s is recruiting and enrolling more of Texas’ brightest students,” said Javier Flores, TWU’s vice president for enrollment management, in the news release.

The university also reported the second-highest number of first-time-in-college students with 1,499, which trailed only 2024’s figure of 1,589 first-time-in-college students, per the news release.
