Fund Your Way with Financial Aid
We understand that graduate school is an investment. All students admitted to Specialized Master’s programs have access to a financial aid team to help secure funding, and can learn more about financial aid through McCombs Financial Services.
If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you’ll likely be eligible for federal student loans. To determine your eligibility, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA is available October 1 of each year for the next school year and it is recommended that you have both the current year and next year’s FAFSAs completed no later than June 1st prior to when your program begins. The UT Austin School Code is 003658.
Once your FAFSA(s) have been successfully processed, you will be offered federal loans to cover your full estimated cost of attendance for the summer, fall, and spring semesters.
You can check the status of your FAFSA after it has been submitted by visiting the “Status/Requirements” page in your Check Aid Status Here (CASH) portal. We will begin packaging McCombs students’ financial aid in June for the upcoming aid year. If you do not receive a Financial Aid Notification (FAN) by the end of June, please feel free to email us at FinancialAid@mccombs.utexas.edu.
If you choose to pursue a private loan, we recommend applying no sooner than a few months before the start of your program. Ethically, we cannot recommend a lender; you must do research to find lenders who meet your needs. Most private loans are credit-based, and the approval decision may expire. Check with your lender about the length of time your application will remain valid before you apply.
When applying, you must use loan periods that match what is used by The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) for processing loans. If your lender provides pre-selected loan periods, we recommend you contact the lender to get the loan periods on your application updated to match what UT Austin uses.
You can opt to apply for each semester individually, but you can also group fall and spring together as fall/spring. Summer loans require a separate application and cannot be grouped with any other semester. For example, you cannot have any of the following combinations: summer/fall, spring/summer, summer/fall/spring, or fall/spring/summer.
Please use the following loan periods as needed during your time in the program.
Please note: academic years (i.e. fall and spring) cannot be grouped together, so you will have to apply for each year separately. Please use the following loan periods as needed based on when your program begins and ends.
- Summer 2025: 6/5/25 – 8/18/25
- Fall 2025: 8/19/25 – 1/10/26
- Spring 2026: 1/12/26 – 6/3/26
- Fall 2025/Spring 2026: 8/19/25 – 6/3/25
- Summer 2026: 6/4/26 – 1/9/27
- Fall 2026: 8/18/26 – 1/9/27
- Spring 2027: 1/11/27 – 6/2/27
- Fall 2026/Spring 2027: 8/18/26 – 6/2/27
If you have questions about the loan itself, contact your lender.
If you have an issue with the processing of your private loan, please email us at FinancialAid@mccombs.utexas.edu and include your UT EID and program in your email.
There are a limited number of scholarships available to Texas McCombs Specialized Master’s students. All Texas McCombs Specialized Master’s applicants are automatically considered for these opportunities; no separate application is necessary. Scholarships are considered separately within each degree program.
Please note that the McCombs Financial Aid Team does not oversee any other scholarship programs and does not take part in the selection process of Admissions Recruiting Awards.
You can apply for scholarships from outside organizations. Please refer to scholarship search engines similar to Fastweb or Sallie Mae’s Scholarship Search.
