Full GED test fees
Texas pays GED test fees for eligible residents age 21 and older while funding lasts; apply through a local TWC Adult Education and Literacy program.
The GED is run by GED Testing Service — a joint venture of Pearson and the American Council on Education — not a government agency. Fee and prep assistance is administered state by state, so it varies and you should confirm what your state offers — though much of the underlying adult-education funding is federal (WIOA Title II). Eligibility and funding change; always check the official source before relying on one.
