Financial Aid: Making College Affordable

UTPB's Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships knows each student's finances are unique. It annually awards $51 million in financial aid. This support includes grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study. All aim to make your education more affordable. Our Falcon Free program covers tuition and fees for eligible undergraduates. It ensures that cost won't prevent you from earning your degree.

Interested in Seeing How Much You're Eligible For?

Curious about your financial aid options? It all starts with the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or TASFA. These applications let colleges determine your financial aid eligibility. Nearly all students who complete the FAFSA or TASFA receive some form of financial aid. These programs are funded and regulated by federal and state governments. They are vital for securing the financial aid you need for your education.
