2013-2014 Financial Aid Applications

To apply for financial aid you should complete the 2013-2014 FAFSA.. See the deadlines for completing the financial aid application process.

If you are not eligible for federal student financial aid because of your immigration status, you may still be eligible for Texas financial aid programs under Senate Bill 1528. You can review the requirements and obtain an application for Texas Student financial aid at College for All Texans. The determination of eligibility to be considered a Texas resident under Senate Bill 1528 is made by the UT Dallas Office of the Registrar.

Have You Completed Exit Counseling?

Students who are or will be no longer be enrolled at UT Dallas at least half-time, and have borrowed federal student loans, need to complete exit counseling. Complete yours now at StudentLoans.ed.gov. This process provides valulable information regarding your options for repayment of your federal student loans.

Renewal Requirements

Some financial aid programs have specific requirements for renewal. If you have been awarded aTEXAS Grant, Top 10% Scholarship or the B-On-Time Loan, be aware that these Texas programs have academic progress standards that are different from our regular Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) rules. In addition, UTD's Tuition Promise program also has unique SAP requirements.

Manage Your Money

Financial aid funds are disbursed in lump sums. This makes budgeting a critical part of most student's lives. The federal government provides a great tool for creating a budget.

Student Employment

Whether or not you have been offered funding from Federal Work-Study or Texas Work-Study, if you are looking for part-time employment while attending UT Dallas, visit the Career Center. Both on-campus and off-campus part-time jobs are available.

Important:

If you register for classes at another school at the same time you are attending UTD:

• If you are eligible for the Federal Pell Grant program you can receive this grant at only one school at a time.
• You must notify UTD's Office of Financial Aid if you are receiving federal or state grants or loans from another school while attending UT Dallas.
• UTD will process financial aid for your registered UT Dallas classes. We do not process financial aid for classes taken at other schools.
• For academic requirements regarding the transferability of off-campus coursework, see your academic advisor.
