When you are accepted for admission into a program at UTMB, you become eligible to apply for financial aid. Students who will be applying for financial aid should read the Financial Aid Information sheet included in their Admissions Packet from their prospective school and file a need analysis form as soon as possible after January 1. The Center's information specialists will answer any question a caller may have about federal student aid in general, or about his or her specific qpplication. The Office of Student Financial Aid is responsible for the administration of financial aid programs, financial counseling for students and the collection of loan repayments.
All counselors use voicemail on their telephones.
The staff is dedicated to ensuring that each applicant has the necessary information and assistance to complete the required application for long-term aid. Short-term aid is also offered to all students. There is also a Tuition Loan Fund through which an eligible student may borrow the required tuition payment. Information is available in the financial aid office. Loans are granted to students on an individual basis after the application has been reviewed with a counselor.
