Scholarships & Awards

Incoming Freshman, Transfer and International Students

Incoming students who wish to be considered for scholarships during their first year at UT Austin should complete a Scholarship Interest Form and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the deadline.  Links to both can be found on the UT Admissions Website.  The College of Liberal Arts does not have a separate scholarship application for incoming freshman, transfer and international students.  All questions related to incoming student aid, including scholarships, should be directed to the Texas One Stop.

Currently Enrolled UT Students  

Applications for most College of Liberal Arts scholarships listed below open at the beginning of the fall and spring semester of each academic year.  These scholarships are available to continuing COLA students who have been enrolled at UT Austin for a minimum of one long academic semester, although some scholarships require a full academic year in-residence prior to applying. For general questions about COLA scholarships, please contact cola-scholarships@austin.utexas.edu . 

Starting fall 2024, information and applications for the awards listed below can be found at UT's Longhorn Awards and Student Scholarship Opportunity (LASSO) system.
