Outreach
Several studies have confirmed that otherwise capable students often pass on even trying to get into college because they believe that a college education is financially out of reach. In addition, students with the greatest financial need are often the least likely to receive it due to a simple lack in communication of financial aid information. Financial aid knowledge is a missing link and an obstacle in providing college access to a growing number of students.
To address this issue, the Office of Student Financial Aid & Enrollment Services has developed a Financial Aid Outreach program. Financial Aid Representatives work directly with students and parents to educate them on the affordability of UTSA. Topics and services include:
- Tips for Success: A Financial Aid Informational Overview (for Graduate and Undergraduate Students)
- Information on how to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
- Valuable information on Scholarships & Grants
- UTSA Financial Aid Information Table
Outreach presentations are also offered in English or Spanish.
