If you need assistance paying your tuition bill on time, short term tuition loans are available for the remaining balance of your tuition bill.

To apply, go online to Tuition Loans on UT Direct. A high assurance UT EID is required to view this page.

Repayment is due 30-90 days from the date the promissory note is signed, depending on how far into the semester the loan is awarded.

On My Tuition Bill, click View Bill, then if your financial aid fully covers your tuition and fees, click Pay with Financial Aid.

Because financial aid funds are not released immediately, your tuition bill will state a balance due until the funds are released.

If the financial aid does not fully cover your bill, the amount due will be reduced accordingly, and you will need to pay the balance due by the deadline.

The majority of private donor scholarships are disbursed through the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA). In most cases, scholarship donors will send checks directly to the university for processing, but not always. Tuition will be adjusted after OSFA processes the scholarship.
