General UT Dallas Financial Aid Information
There are sources of aid to help you cover the costs of your education. They can be categorized as either federal or private. Private loans are available to students who enter the program seeking only a graduate certificate and not a degree. Federal loans are available to students who enter UT Dallas as a graduate student.
Private Loans
For those who are enrolled as a graduate certificate student, there are several sources of private-based, long-term educational loans that are issued based on the credit-worthiness of the borrower. Learn more about private student loans and how to compare them.
Federal Loans
MS SEM degree-seeking students may borrow through the Federal Student Loan Programs (Stafford and Graduate Plus). The Federal Stafford Loan maximum academic year limit is $20,500 and is a guaranteed loan. The Graduate Plus Loan is limited to the cost of attendance – minus other financial aid – and is a creditworthy loan.
To apply for federal student aid, you must submit one form, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Often, UT Dallas will also use the information from this form in awarding private loans. The application is submitted electronically through FAFSA. You must first apply for a PIN (Personal Identification Number), which you will need in order to sign your FAFSA electronically, correct any information after you get your FAFSA results, and access your aid history online. Your UT Dallas school code is 009741.
UT Dallas Financial Aid Contact
The UT Dallas Financial Aid staff serves as the liaison between the lender and the student once the student has applied for the loan.
