Grants
Grants are a form of need-based financial aid that does not need to be repaid. Eligibility is determined by the information you provide on your FAFSA. Grants are awarded by the federal and state governments, as well as by UT.
Federal Grants
- Federal Pell Grant: Awarded to undergraduate students with significant financial need. Eligibility and annual amounts are determined by Congress and can change from year to year.
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program: Awarded to undergraduate students with the greatest financial need; helps supplement the Federal Pell Grant.
- Federal TEACH Grant: Awarded to teacher education students who are formally admitted to a “high-need” teacher education program and who meet specific academic requirements. Please note that this grant will be converted to a loan if certain requirements are not met. If you’re interested, contact an academic advisor in the College of Education or the UTeach Programs.
