How to Accept Your Financial Aid at UTPB

Once you’ve been awarded financial aid at UTPB, the next step is to review and accept your awards through your student account. Not all aid is handled the same way, so it’s important to understand what requires action.

The Pell Grant is automatically accepted. Other grants and scholarships may require acceptance. Loans are optional and must be accepted if you choose to borrow.
