<p>Ok, I got my admissions to College of Engineering a few days ago. This is my #1 school to go to, but it turns out the deadline for scholarships from the school has already ended, December 1! What gives; were you supposed to fill out the application for scholarship way before your admission letter?</p>
<p>It's gonna be 40,000 a year total for me (out of state), and I'll need some major money if I have any chance to go.. :(</p>
<p>Take a look a this link:</p>
<p>The application deadline in order to be considered for a scholarship at UT was December 1st. Unfortunately, the deadline was firm.</p>
<p>how did you come up with 40k a year?</p>
<p>tuition is only 20</p>
<p>Are you by any chance a National Merit Scholar Finalist? I believe UT will waive out of state tuition.</p>
<p>Yeah and can't you reapply for scholarships after freshman year anyway?
The engineering department gives out lots of scholarships.</p>
<p>Definitely apply for departmental scholarships for next year. Most departments have them (I know journalism does), and they're easier to get than university-wide scholarships.</p>
<p>Err no I don't think I'm a Scholar Finalist. I say 40,000 cause that includes everything like Room and Board, books, etc.</p>
<p>This sucks, and I don't think my parents are willing to pay first year, I might as well go to U of I (in state) which is 15,000 a year. So can I transfer to Austin after 1 year, and have applied for the scholarships by then, cause that would work out nice.</p>
<p>Wow, that sucks I'm sorry.</p>
<p>If I were you, I'd still send in an application I mean, it can't hurt you to try and I'm pretty sure the scholarship application was free. I think somewhere I read that is the "priority deadline" so just try. </p>
<p>Best of luck, I hope you end up going to UT!</p>
<p>December was the priority deadline, not the 'firm' deadline.</p>
<p>the scholarship app is closed. no one can apply anymore. try for outside scholarships. there are still a lot out there.</p>
<p>Meh... forget it. I'm not going to UT :(</p>
<p>It's just too much hassle and I doubt anything I get will put a dent into the tuition I have to pay. Bleh now I have to settle for U of I, which is similar, but it gets cold in the winter :( Thanks for the help though, have fun at UT.</p>
<p>Awww, I am sorry Cyrone :( Best of luck @ UI-Urbana-Champaign. </p>
<p>It's a great school :) I'm sure you will have a great college experience. And besides, with all this global warming it probably won't be THAT cold in the winter anymore. Hahaha.</p>
<p>Al Gores says yes, 12 feet of snow at once up north this winter says no.</p>
