Scholarships for continuing students

The School of Architecture Scholarship Committee makes scholarship and tuition waiver award decisions. A scholarship application must be completed and submitted for review to qualify for an award. The Scholarship Committee considers academic performance at The University of Texas, stated financial need or unique hardship, letters of reference from University of Texas professors and the applicant's personal statement in making award decisions. BASED ON THESE CRITERIA, ONLY CONTINUING STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY.

General Scholarships

Each year, the School of Architecture awards over $100,000 in scholarships from a variety of endowments and discretionary funds. The number of students receiving awards each year ranges from 50 to 100 awards. The award amounts range from $500 to $7500 approximately. Students who are enrolled at The University of Texas School of Architecture are eligible to apply.

Use the online UTSOA Scholarship Application to apply for a general scholarship. The deadline for the General Scholarship application is usually in January for the following academic year.

Independent Student Travel Scholarships

The School of Architecture has a number of scholarships available to support independent student research travel. Applications are generally solicited once a year for the academic year.

The deadline is usually in January for all travel during the entire academic year. Please submit all applications to the Scholarship Coordinator in the School of Architecture.
