Student Financial Aid
   The following summaries are for informational purposes only. Current information on each program is available from the Financial Aid Office, located in Suite 252 Davis Hall, 817-272-3561. Information is also available by accessing the following Web site: www2.uta.edu/fao/
   Students subject to selective service registration will be required to file a statement that the student has registered or is exempt from selective service registration to be eligible to apply for federal financial aid. In addition, effective January 1, 1998, the selective service requirement is also applicable to students applying for financial assistance funded by state revenue.

Alumni Loan Fund
   The U.T. Arlington Alumni Association and other friends of the University have established loan funds for the benefit of students who need to borrow to meet current expenses. These loans are for up to $500 and are to be repaid during the semester in which the money is borrowed. To be eligible, graduate students must have completed a minimum of nine semester hours at U.T. Arlington with a grade-point average of at least 3.0. First-time graduate students who have earned a baccalaureate degree from U.T. Arlington will be considered to have met minimum academic requirements for eligibility.

Assistance Based on Need
   Students wishing to participate in any of the following financial aid programs should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible prior to their actual enrollment at the University. The funding process takes six to eight weeks for completion. Financial aid in these categories is generally limited to U.S. citizens or those in this country on other than temporary visa status.

Federal Perkins Loan and Federal Stafford Loan
   These are the primary sources of long-term loans available at U.T. Arlington. Both programs include deferred repayment provisions that permit students to repay the loan after termination of at least half-time studies at the University. For those students demonstrating financial need, interest will not accrue on the loans while the borrowers are enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Information regarding loan amounts and terms can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office.

Federal Work-Study Program
   A student who needs a job to help pay for college expenses may be eligible for employment through the Federal Work-Study Program.
