The State of Texas mandates that a certain percentage of tuition paid is set aside for need-based financial assistance programs. The state also mandates that we notify you of the amount of tuition paid that has been set aside for this purpose.
The notification you received may have looked something like this:

State Mandated Set-Asides are required of all Texas residents at Texas public higher education institutions. You can find set-aside requirements in the Texas Education Code, Sections 51.008 (b), 52.91 (c), 56.011, 56.012, 56.095, 56.463 (b), 56.465, 61.539, 61.910, 61.9660 and 61.9731.

The University awards those funds to students with needs based on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) submission.
