Financial Aid

The University of Texas at Austin assists students with financial aid through the Office of Student Financial Services. The office’s mission is to negate financial barriers that would discourage or prohibit qualified students from attending the University while enhancing recruitment and retention efforts that bring the most promising undergraduates and graduates of diverse social, ethnic, economic, and academic backgrounds. Information can be found online at the UT Austin Office of Student Financial Services or by calling 512-475-6282.

In addition to the UT Austin resources, the Jackson School offers financial aid to undergraduates, primarily after the first year. A number of scholarship funds established by individuals, foundations, and industrial or research organizations are available to students in the school. Awards are made for reasons ranging from academic promise to financial need. Interested students should inquire at the Department of Geological Sciences.
