Financial Aid
Whether you’re a prospective student or transferring, we want to make sure you have the cost and aid information you need to make your UT education possible. Families with adjusted gross incomes (AGI) of up to $125,000 receive guaranteed need-based aid through the Texas Advance Commitment.
Net Price Calculator
Our Net Price Calculator delivers a personalized estimate of the net price of attending UT Austin based on your major, personal finances, housing, estimated financial aid, possible VA Education Benefits and more. By gaining a better understanding of the net price of attendance, you’ll feel more prepared and confident to make your UT education possible.
