Financial Aid and Scholarships

Today is Monday, May 21, 2012

Welcome

The UTA Office of Financial Aid website is designed to provide you with useful information about financial aid programs offered through UTA and the process to apply for and receive funding. We offer a wide variety of scholarships, grants, work, and loan programs to assist with funding the college education of students and families of all income levels. More than 63% of UTA students receive some type of financial assistance. We look forward to assisting you with the financial aid process.

Scholarship opportunities from sources outside of UT Arlington are located in the Private Scholarships page on this web site.

Requirements and Deadlines

To be considered for maximum grant funding, students must be admitted to UT Arlington and the completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and any additional required documents must be received in the Financial Aid Office by the dates below. Because additional documents may be required (see Verification), students should complete and submit the FAFSA at least 2 weeks prior to the deadline. Financial aid awards cannot be made until all required documents have been received. Due to the uncertainty of available funding through federal and state grant programs, grant award amounts may be reduced from previous years. The most advantageous grant awards will be made to eligible students who have been admitted to UT Arlington and have submitted all required financial aid paperwork by April 2, 2012.

  • Summer 2012 Deadline: April 2, 2012
  • Fall/Spring 2012-2013 Grant Priority Deadline: April 2, 2012
