Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA)

The state of Texas has a Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) for students who are not United States citizens, but are Texas residents. Student must qualify under legislation enacted under Senate Bill 1528 (SB1528) and House Bill 1403 (HB1403) which grants resident status for tuition purposes.

International students are not eligible. For residency related questions, please contact the Residency Office directly at residency@uta.edu.

Students eligible for federal aid through the FAFSA should not complete the TASFA.

To apply for aid for the fall 2025 and spring 2026 semesters, print a copy of the TASFA below and include:

  • Signed copies of student's and parent's (if dependent) 2023 Federal Form 1040 and include all Schedules 1, 2, and/or 3 filed with the IRS.
  • You may also request copies of 2023 Tax Return Transcripts. Request your transcripts online directly from the IRS.
