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 students are automatically considered for these scholarships. No additional application needed.
The deadlines to be considered for all 2024-25 UTA merit-based scholarships have passed. 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 Summer 2024 and Fall 2024 semesters. Students starting at UTA in the Spring are not eligible for these scholarships. Please check back for more information about UTA's 2025-26 merit-based 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). Please visit Mav ScholarShop for additional merit and need-based scholarships available at the university. Please note, Mav ScholarShop is currently under construction and will be available beginning November 11, 2025.
