University Scholarship Opportunities
Many scholarships are offered by the college and program offices that serve students on the UT Health Science Campus: College of Medicine & Life Sciences, College of Nursing, College of Pharmacy and Physician Assistant Studies. You may contact those offices directly for more information.

Loans
Federal Direct Loans
(Graduate Students – Federal Unsubsidized Loan, Federal Graduate Plus Loan)
Apply for an FSA ID (Federal Student Aid ID) at https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm if you don’t already have one. Then, file the appropriate award year FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Once the University has received your FAFSA information, your admission will be matched with this data and your program cost of attendance will determine your aid eligibility. The University will provide you an award letter with instructions as to how to accept/reduce/decline and/or apply for credit worthy loans, complete master promissory notes and entrance counseling for loans.
