Interest and repayment terms vary among the different programs, and UT Southwestern follows a policy of offering the student the most favorable loan for which he or she qualifies if funds are available in the program. All financial aid programs administered by UT Southwestern are subject to the conditions, limitations, and requirements prescribed by the agency sponsoring the program. The amount of the UFSL will be based on a student's total aid budget minus any other aid that has been awarded.
