MERIT-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NEW, UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
UTA offers over $40 million in scholarships each academic year for students. At UTA, our students and their needs come first. This generous scholarship program is used to reward academic excellence and to improve college access.
To be considered for UTA's merit-based scholarships, students must turn-in all documents required by UTA Admissions before the scholarship deadline. By meeting this requirement, all new, incoming students are automatically considered for these scholarships. No additional application needed.
The scholarship deadline for all 2025-26 UTA merit-based scholarships is March 1, 2025. All scholarships listed below are available to students that are admitted for the Fall 2025 semester. Students starting at UTA in the Spring are not eligible for these scholarships.
Accepting an offer of any of the Merit-Based Scholarships listed below will result in automatic acceptance of admission to UTA.
Note: The Scholarships Office does not offer scholarships for incoming graduate students, students in a non-degree seeking program, accelerated online students, or students in the Coordinated Admission Program (CAP). We encourage all students to visit Mav ScholarShop for additional merit and need-based scholarships available at the university. We also recommend visiting our Outside Scholarships page, and to reach out directly to the department over your program of study to learn more about scholarship opportunities.
