<p>We just received FA notification and my daughter did not get money. She is offered Federal parent loan $8643 per semester, and unsubsidized stafford loan $2750 per semester. So it looks like we are paying the full price. Our total income last year was around $125K ( expecting to be about $25K less this year).
Does anybody knows if UT Austin give any merit based scholarships, She was in top 3% , SAT 2090, GPA 3.7.
Thank you</p>
<p>If you click on the Colleges link on the left, then T under Alphabetical List, you’ll find a subforum for UT Austin. You might get more info there. Here’s a thread discussing stats of scholarship students (seems very competitive!):</p>

<p>Did she fill out the scholarship form–available after the Texas App is completed? I think this may be key to getting merit scholarships. My son completed this form and has received a merit scholarship.<br>
Having said that, though, we have gotten notification from A&M about scholarships particular to his major. Perhaps there is something like that at UT as well. I would put a call into the financial aid dept. to check.
Finally, I remember reading something on this forum about a Texas scholarship for top 10% kids. If you do a search on this site, something might come up.<br>
Good luck.</p>
