A chance to learn.
A chance to thrive.

Students work hard to earn college credit while incarcerated. Too often, they lose the support and connections they need to continue after release. TexCHEP works with colleges, community organizations, and state partners to help strengthen those pathways so students can keep moving toward their educational goals.

Our North Star

Every year, thousands of Texans leave prison ready to continue their education.

Too often, there is no clear path forward.

Building stronger pathways together

The student is navigating all of it.

TexCHEP connects colleges, community organizations, reentry providers, state agencies, employers, researchers, and leaders with lived experience to strengthen higher education pathways for students in prison and after release.
