Students with financial aid inquiries can get their questions answered as well as a crash course in the financial aid process and requirements Tuesday.

The New Student Welcome Center and the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will give a presentation starting at 6:45 p.m. in the University Center Rio Grande.

Brittney Joyce, New Student Welcome Center manager, said they’re expecting a crowd of prospective students, but anyone is welcome.

Financial Aid Night

When: Check in 6:15 and 7:15 p.m. - Tuesday
Where: University Center Rio Grande

Registration is free and available online at https://www.uta.edu/admissions/fa-night/, or can be done at event check-in.

The presentation will include information about financial aid processes like filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. Joyce said they will also discuss the Maverick Promise, the university’s financial aid program that grants free tuition to households making $65,000 or less.

In addition to the presentation, 25 admission counselors will be present to help with individual questions.

After the presentation, Joyce said participants can file for the FAFSA at a computer lab, most likely the computers in the UC Sierra Lounge.
Registration can be done online or at the event at check-in, which begins at 6:15 p.m.

The presentation will be shown again at 7:45 p.m., with its check-in beginning at 7:15. Those interested can choose which time slot to attend.
