During the spring and summer semesters, continuing students may submit applications for the next year's limited number of accounting scholarships and awards. Most of these scholarships are based upon academic merit, with academic achievement at The University of Texas weighted heavily. A small number may be dedicated to applicants exhibiting high financial need. The Fifth Year Accounting Scholarships are funded by additional license fees paid by Texas CPA's. The application forms are typically mailed out during June and the scholarships are awarded for the next academic year.
Students are most likely to receive funding if they score high on all three dimensions.
The Accounting Department does not make the decision regarding who receives these scholarships. Not Restricted to Accounting Students Private foundations and agencies offer fellowships, grants and loans for graduate education. Consult Texas Business School Financial Aid to learn about these scholarships. Assistantships A very limited number of graduate assistantship positions are available through individual academic departments across the campus. Hiring practices of these departments vary and are unrelated to the Graduate School of Business admission process.
