UT Austin financial aid/scholarships

Has anyone received any info about financial aid or scholarships? Portal is saying “check back in two weeks.” It’s been that way for about a month!

I’m the same as you unfortunately, still waiting…

Emailed UT Financial Aid asking when to expect to get financial aid/scholarship notification. Just received this reply:

“Incoming students receive their financial aid notices around late March/April.”

I attended the “Evening with UT” event in San Antonio last night. Staff from the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid were in attendance. During the Q&A session a financial aid officer announced that they will be releasing financial aid packets the week of March 26.

@Biochem_2022 I’m in SA. Where was the event? Was it for admitted students only?

Yes, it was for admitted students only. The event was held at Lee HS.

Financial aid is released on myStatus site now.

DS got various scholarships - $11400
Various types of loans - $15988
Total COA - $27388

@Bader316 What are your son’s stats?

I was informed yesterday that I received in-state tuition award with a minimum aid package.

@jazzymomof7 , He has very good stats. I think his essays were top grade. Admitted to McCombs on the first batch - Nov 17.

is anyone else still waiting for their package?

D git hers. $0.

i got $0 in scholarships as well. disappointed as i got many from other schools, and my stats are decent enough. is this appealable? i have heard of students bumping up their financial aid, although it is typically those that have already received something.

Not able to appeal unless a FAFSA error. UT does not have to use scholarships to attract students.

I received $0 in scholarships and grants from UT.

Anyone with demonstrated need? I’d be interested to know if people with need get mostly loans also.

I received a little over $5000/semester in grants. Very grateful.

Congrats on the grant! Do you suspect the award was due to academic need, merit, or both?

It stated it was based on information from my FAFSA

I know 40 Acres has been announced from the Texas Ex’s, but has anyone received any other type of scholarship from them?
