Blaze Forward to help eligible undergrads with college tuition
|
|
Beginning with the fall 2022 semester, UTA's Blaze Forward program will make a college education more accessible by covering 100% of tuition and mandatory fees for undergraduate students who meet all eligibility requirements and are from families with adjusted gross incomes up to $85,000.
Students that meet eligibility requirements will automatically be considered for the program and be notified. There is no additional application needed for the program. To learn more, visit go.uta.edu/blaze-forward.
UTA expects more than 4,000 students to qualify in the coming year. As the program grows over time, more than 4,600 students a year will enjoy the benefits of Blaze Forward.
