Financial Matters

At UTB/TSC, we believe that a lack of money should not prevent any student from attending college.  Financial assistance is available to eligible students in the form of grants, loans, work-study, veterans’ benefits and scholarships.  The Office of Student Fiancial Assistance eager to help you access programs that can help support student success, pay for tuition,fees and other costs associated with attending UTB/TSC.

FINANCIAL AID:
Financial Assistance programs provide assistance to eligible students who, without such funds, would be unable to attend college.  The founding idea behind most federal and state financial aid programs is that the primary responsibility for educational expenses must first lie with the family.  It is only when the family lacks the financial resources to meet the full cost of attendance that financial aid programs may be used.

Financial aid for eligible students is available in the form of grants, scholarships, college work-study, loan programs, and veterans' benefits that are funded by federal, state, and/or local sources.

UTB/TSC uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility of students for most federal and state financial aid programs. A new application must be filed each year. Since this process can take up to 4 - 6 weeks, it is recommended that students apply in early February for the upcoming fall semester.

Completing the application process on or before March 1 will guarantee that a financial aid package will be offered to eligible students for use during the registration periods. Only some grants and/or scholarship funds may be credited to pay registration costs when used during registration periods. If a balance remains, it will be disbursed during the first week of classes.  Loan checks are usually released on or after the first class day.
