Alumni Scholarships

The National Alumni Association awards up to $10,000 in scholarships to students who are descendants of UT alumni.

Preference is given to first-year students. Financial need is not a factor. The award may be renewable if the recipient is a full-time student and maintains a minimum 3.0 grade-point average at the end of each academic year, but decisions are at the discretion of selection committee.
