<p>Does anyone know when OOS students will hear about any kind of scholarships and the likelihood of getting one?</p>
<p>I haven’t heard yet, and I’m in-state. :(</p>
<p>If you are selected to receive a scholarship, you will hear within a few weeks of receiving your acceptance letter… typically also by letter.</p>
<p>In March, after FAFSA deadline.
Many UT scholarships are both merit and need.</p>
<p>if i am hoping for a merit scholarship, do i still need to fill out the fafsa? i got an email the other day saying to do so by march 15 or something. i am unlikely to get any by need based so… does merit require me to file the fafsa</p>

<p>Submit your FAFSA
Even if you don’t think you’ll qualify for need-based aid, it’s a good idea to apply for all types of aid by completing the FAFSA. Some scholarship awards strongly consider the information submitted on your FAFSA.</p>
