The U.S. Congress recently passed additional Emergency Relief Grant funding for Higher Education. UTA has not received this additional funding yet. Once UTA receives this new funding, we will communicate the application process to students via their UTA email address.
During these challenging times and in accordance with social distancing, UTA is providing a secured drop box for your convenience and safety. The secured drop box for UTA Financial Aid related documents is located at the Davis Hall basement level entrance (parking lot side). Please place your documents in a sealed envelope clearly labeled for proper handling.
