APPLICATION PROCESS
- Important note:
  Due to the number of applications we receive, we are unable to consider ANY incomplete applications.
- Required funds:
  It is required that our grant recipients have the funds available to cover costs outside of what the grant may cover.
- After application closes:
  FFOTX board members review all of the information and select the finalists based on availability of funds, applicant’s financials and unique situation.
- Next step:
  Finalists are contacted for an in-person interview with members of the board. Interviews last approximately 30 minutes and will be conducted at an Austin, TX location.
- Selected applicants:
  If you are selected, (within 1-2 weeks following the interview), we will run a credit/background check as the final step in the process and your grant will be ready for funding.
- IMPORTANT NOTE:
  The Fertility Foundation of Texas does not offer grants for oocyte (egg) or sperm cryopreservation, where the grant recipient has no immediate plans to attempt conception. This is due to a number of factors, including our limited funds and continued changes in technology and techniques surrounding retrieval and cryopreservation. We may reconsider this decision in the future and will update this website accordingly in the event of a change.
