UTA Presidential Honors Scholarship

About this scholarship

The UTA Presidential Honors Scholarship is one of the University of Texas at Arlington's merit-based scholarships for new undergraduate students. UTA states that all new incoming students are considered for merit-based scholarships when they submit all documents required by UTA Admissions before the scholarship deadline, and no additional application is needed. For fall 2026 admits, the Presidential Honors Scholarship offer is $13,000 annually, up to $52,000 over four years, based on meeting renewal requirements each year. The award is partial funding because it lowers educational costs but does not cover full tuition, fees, housing, meals, health insurance, books, travel, or personal expenses. International undergraduate applicants apply through UTA's international undergraduate admission process and must satisfy first-year or transfer admission requirements, submit required academic records, and meet English-language rules. Accepting a UTA merit scholarship offer results in automatic acceptance of admission to UTA, so students should review admission and scholarship terms carefully before accepting.
