Scholarships FAQ

Is my award made only for the fall semester?

Most scholarship awards are made for the fall/spring semester of an upcoming year. Therefore, the award is split evenly between the fall and spring semesters.

Do I have to be enrolled at UT full-time to receive my scholarship award?

You must be enrolled at UT full-time (a minimum of 12 hours) each semester during the school year that the scholarship covers. If you have less than 12 hours for either semester, you forfeit the scholarship and the award is given to another student.

I received a scholarship from the Department of Computer Sciences, and have been invited to a reception in the Spring. Must I attend?

Upon receiving a scholarship, the Department expects recipients: to write thank you notes that are delivered to the scholarship donors and to attend the annual reception held each spring semester. If you have a class conflict, please speak to your instructor and make arrangements to get your notes from another student.
