What about scholarships?
Scholarships are available for qualified incoming students and may be renewable based on continued high performance. Scholarship awards will be applied toward tuition expenses.
Veterans, Spouses and Dependent Children:
Please note that the MS in FTEC program is NOT eligible for the Hazlewood exemption because the school does not receive state formula funding (tax support) for the program.
What other program costs are there?
The admitted student is expected to pay a $600 non-refundable seat deposit to reserve and guarantee a seat in the program.
The $600 seat fee is separate from the tuition and is due before the final processing of one’s admission is conducted.
In addition, living expenses and health insurance will be borne by the students. For international students, these expenses are set in accordance with the UT Dallas International Students & Scholars Office (ISSO) and State Department guidelines for visa applications.
What about Financial Aid?
Federal Student Loans are available for a student who is a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen; is registered with Selective Service (males) or can prove exemption; and is admitted as a regular degree-seeking graduate student. You must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply electronically. You must first apply for a Federal Student Aid identification number (FSA ID). The FSA ID is needed to sign your FAFSA electronically, correct any information after you get your FAFSA results, and access your financial aid history online. The UTD federal school code is 009741.
Private Educational Loans are available for a student who does not meet the Federal Student Loan requirements or who prefers to borrow from a private educational lender.
