The University of Texas at Arlington is expanding its ongoing commitment to students and families by ensuring an additional investment of $25 million in scholarships over the next five years, beginning with the Fall 2021 term.

This commitment expressly addresses student diversity and financial concerns for first-generation college students, low-income families, high-achieving students, and those facing challenges in the wake of COVID-19.

Dining on campus during the start of the Fall 2020 semester will look a little different because of social distancing requirements instituted by health agencies. The University has changed tables and seating in its dining areas to meet state requirements.
