All US citizens and certain eligible non-citizens (such as permanent residents) can apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This must be done each year and the FAFSA is a free service. You should never pay to fill out a FAFSA. The FAFSA application requires a federal school code or for you to select what school(s) you want your application to be sent. The UTSA federal school code is 010115. Find out more info!

Students that are classified as a Texas Resident and who cannot apply for federal financial aid using the FAFSA are encouraged to complete the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA). They must be coded as a House Bill student by the Admissions Office in order to qualify. Find out more info!

The UTSA Financial Aid and Scholarship office typically begins disbursing federal and state aid 10 days prior to the first day of class for the fall and spring semester.  To ensure your funds disburse to your account in a timely manner, accept your financial aid awards online through your myUTSA Account . Check and address any items that are required to finish your financial aid file. As long as all the required documents are processed, you have no holds and your actual enrollment matches your cost of attendance (budget), your aid should disburse.

Please note that some scholarships and financial aid for students with consortium agreements with other schools will not disburse until after the Census Date.

All of your financial aid will first be applied towards your tuition and fees and other educational charges.  Once your billed charges have been paid, a credit will be available on your account and issued to you as a refund, if applicable.

Direct Deposit is the quickest way to receive your refund. Direct Deposit can be set up on your myUTSA Account and from when your account balance shows zero. It usually takes three business days to post your refund in your bank account. If you see a “General Refund Account” on your billing statement, this is the amount of your refund and is not a charge.  If you do not have direct deposit on your account, funds will be sent by U.S. Mail. Paper refund checks may take up to five to seven business days to reach you and will be mailed to the mailing address you have listed on myUTSA.

UTSA has different types of scholarships:

1. Merit-Based scholarships are strictly academic and are usually determined by SAT and ACT scores, GPA or class rank.  Most are awarded through the Honors College and various department levels.
2. Need-based scholarships require students to demonstrate financial need by completing a FAFSA and often have other criteria.
3. A combination of merit and need-based scholarships require students to demonstrate financial need in addition to the criteria for merit scholarships.
4. General Scholarships are those offered and awarded through the Financial Aid & Scholarships office, but college and departmental scholarships require separate applications and deadlines may vary. Please visit Scholarships for more information.
5. Miscellaneous or Outside Scholarships are scholarships from donors outside of UTSA. If you are interested in pursuing this type of scholarship, visit Outside Scholarships.

For more information about types of scholarships, deadlines and eligibility requirements, please visit Scholarships or email onestop@utsa.edu from your UTSA-selected, preferred e-mail account.

If all required documents are complete, financial aid typically disburses 10 days prior to the start of the semester. If the amount of your financial aid exceeds what is used to pay for your tuition and fees, the remaining balance may be used to pay for your housing expenses. The process is slightly different depending on your housing situation. Please read below for details on how to get your remaining financial aid to pay for housing depending on where you live:

Campus Living Villages  – If you live at University Oaks your housing charges do not automatically appear on your student billing statement on myUTSA. Students may go to Fiscal Services to request that a portion of the pending refund amount be set aside for housing at University Oaks. Fiscal Services will then give the student a receipt to provide University Oaks in order to show the amount of financial aid that is being applied toward housing.
*Please note, if your financial aid will be exhausted by tuition and related fees, you cannot pursue this option and will need to make other arrangements to pay for housing with University Oaks. Also, if your refund will only cover a portion of your rent, you will need to make arrangements with University Oaks to cover the portion of your rent that financial aid will not cover.

UTSA Housing and Residence Life

Housing fees for Alvarez Hall, Blanco Hall, Chisholm Hall, Guadalupe Hall, Chaparral Village, or Laurel Village will automatically show up as part of your bill before the tuition deadline. After tuition and fees are paid, any remaining financial aid will then pay toward your housing balance. If it is not enough to cover your entire housing balance, you will be responsible for paying the difference.

You may check the status of your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) any time at www.fafsa.ed.gov, but we recommend you at least check the status:

• One week after submission if you used your FSA ID to sign your application.
• Two to three weeks after submission if you printed, signed and mailed a signature page.
• You can also make corrections to a processed FAFSA, add or delete a school code, or view and print your FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS), which is referred to as a Student Aid Report (SAR) for the 2023-2024 academic year, online.

You may check on your UTSA financial aid online at myUTSA Account, where you can accept or decline your financial aid and scholarship awards. For scholarship awards, please refer to your scholarship award letter for instructions on accepting awards, deadlines and additional required documents. To check your account for outstanding requirements, please follow the instructions below:

1. Log into myUTSA

2. Click on the “Financial Aid” tab

3. Click “Eligibility”

4. Click “Student Requirements”

5. Select the relevant aid year from the drop-down menu.

To guarantee that your classes will be paid for by the payment deadline, and to avoid a late fee, please submit all requested documentation and take care of any holds early in order to allow for processing time.
