How to use this profile
ACP summarizes planning points, but admission rules, costs, scholarships and immigration requirements can change. Always verify the current official pages linked below before acting.
Ask ACP About This SchoolAdmissions
UTA publishes a dedicated international first-year process. For 2026 entry, its page lists GPA/test-score combinations for guaranteed admission and says test scores are optional but encouraged; applicants outside those criteria may receive holistic review. International priority dates are published by term.
Cost & Financial Planning
UTA publishes both a tuition estimator and cost-of-attendance pages. Its international admissions page currently lists estimated first-year educational/living amounts for I-20 planning, but ACP recommends using the live estimator and financial statement for the student's exact level and term.
Scholarships & Funding
UTA publishes merit scholarships for new undergraduates and Mav ScholarShop opportunities. Certain nonresident/international students receiving qualifying merit awards may also be considered for a nonresident tuition waiver or international grant; UTA states these are not guaranteed.
International Student Support
UTA requires financial documentation before issuing an I-20 and maintains international admissions and international student resources.
