Undergraduate Financial Aid
The
Department of Civil Engineering enjoys strong support from local
industry and alumni and that support is illustrated through the number
of scholarships we are able to offer undergraduate
students. All scholarships are awarded on a
competitive
basis. The amount, deadline, duration and award criteria vary
among the types of awards available to the students. A minimum award of
$1,000 in financial assistance per year qualifies an undergraduate
student for in-state tuition. Students are strongly encouraged to
carefully review the application criteria and comply with all relevant
policies and procedures. Additional information on financial aid is
available at www.uta.edu/fao
