MFA: Funding Opportunities
Currently we are accepting all students complete with a full tuition waiver and a Graduate Assistantship (GTA), which is organized as an additional stipend paid monthly in the fall and spring semesters. The GTA requires a modest service to the department in the arenas of administrative support, research or teaching.
The tuition waiver is the equivalent of our full-time tuition costs plus fees, and includes in-state tuition status, regardless of a student's national or international residency. As of AY 2023-24, the tuition waiver for all accepted students now totals $11,990.00
All efforts are also made to provide MFA students in good standing with real classroom experience as teachers of record.
International students must take and pass either the IELTS or TOEFL test in order to receive a GTA award. https://catalog.uta.edu/academicregulations/admissions/graduate/
