Important Information for TSTC Students receiving Financial Aid
Texas State Technical College has partnered with BankMobile Disbursements to produce the official student identification card, the TECH OneCard, and to deliver any refund money we may have for you. You will receive a Refund Selection Kit from BankMobile Disbursements, which will include your TECH OneCard and your personal code. This kit will be sent in a bright green envelope to your address on file with TSTC. The refund selection kit allows you to choose your refund option. Your refund selection kit includes TSTC's student identification card, the TECH OneCard. TSTC's student identification card handles all ID card services, such as checking out library books and eating in our TSTC Café.
