The Blaze Forward Program is one of many financial assistance programs offered at UTA. Merit-based scholarships are available to the highest academically achieving incoming freshmen and transfer students. The Scholarship Committee reviews students’ academic records based on a variety of factors including high school rank, GPA, test scores and difficulty of high school courses. Submission of an SAT or ACT test score is required to be considered for the highest academic scholarships.

We encourage students to apply to UTA and submit their FAFSA/TAFSA to determine eligibility for scholarships and financial aid. Complete the FAFSA online at StudentAid.gov. UTA school code: 003656. For more information, visit the UTA Scholarships page.

Other Ways to Fund Your College Education

Undergraduate students are eligible for federal loans and can borrow up to $12,500 each year in Direct Unsubsidized Loans, which may be partially subsidized. Direct PLUS Loans, which are available to parents of undergraduate students, also can be used for the remainder of costs not covered by other financial aid. Students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA to see if they qualify for federal loans. Banks and credit unions offer private student loans. Students may apply directly with the lender.

Through our guaranteed admissions requirements or holistic review process, we welcome transfer students to start in the fall, spring, and summer terms. For information on how to apply, required documents to submit, and application deadlines, visit our Transfer Students page.

UTA Course Equivalency Tool

Transfer students can use UTA’s Course Equivalency Tool to look up courses from another college or university and view their transfer equivalencies at UTA. Official transfer evaluations are conducted for current and admitted students after receipt of an official transcript as part of the admissions process. The course equivalency tool provides an unofficial transfer evaluation and is not guaranteed as transfer equivalencies are revised frequently.
