How Students Are Notified

New students may receive notification of their estimated aid eligibility by using the financial aid calculator at www.ut.edu/financialaid. Official financial aid award notices are sent via regular mail; aid may be viewed by logging into SpartanWeb. It may take several weeks for UT to receive need analysis results from the FAFSA processing center.

Need-based aid is awarded in a package usually consisting of grants and scholarships (which do not have to be repaid), low-interest student loans (which are repaid after the student graduates or leaves school) and work-study (through which students can earn money for college expenses).

For new students, acceptance of aid requires an admissions deposit, which is credited to the first-term bill.
