UTA awarded funds to help students impacted by COVID-19
|
UTA has received $750,000 to help students negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s (THECB) second round of Texas Reskilling Grants.
The grants allow UT Arlington to provide financial assistance, through coverage of tuition and fees, to help students in need get back on track for graduation. The THECB program assists students who need to reskill or upskill to return to the workforce, as well as students who previously left their higher education institutions without completing their postsecondary credentials.
