Merit Scholarships and Non Need-Based Assistance for New Transfer Students (completed at least 17 college credits at time of application)

Transfer applicants have already graduated high school and completed 17 or more college credits at the time they apply for admission. See section on Undergraduate Admission Policy for more information. Students who previously attended UT and apply for readmission are considered for merit scholarships as transfer students.

UT merit scholarships are guaranteed for up to 6 semesters or until normal degree-completion would occur, whichever comes first. Scholarships are available in the fall and spring semesters only to undergraduate degree-seeking students who enroll full-time (incur the full-time tuition charges). Students must meet the minimum standards of federal Satisfactory Academic Progress to renew institutional scholarships and grants. Additional requirements may apply to specific awards, as outlined in your award letter, on the UT website and/or in this Catalog. 

All or a portion of a UT merit scholarship may be replaced by an endowed scholarship, made possible by the generous donations of friends of UT. These scholarships are renewable, although the amount of the donor-funded portion could change. The combined amount of the endowed scholarship and the UT merit scholarship will not exceed the amount of UT merit scholarship aid offered at the time of admission.
