However, there are many third-party scholarships you may apply for in addition to UT Dallas scholarships.
Do I need to apply for scholarships separately, or will I automatically be considered for scholarships upon admission?
Given that these policies are frequently updated, please refer to the Graduate Scholarships page for more details.
Do I need to be enrolled at UT Dallas to apply for the scholarship?
You can apply for a scholarship once you have submitted your application to The University of Texas at Dallas. However, your application will not be processed until you are admitted and accepted.
I am an international student and have taken the GRE. Can I still apply for scholarships?

I am an international student and have taken the GMAT. Can I apply for a scholarship at the start of my degree?
Yes. You are eligible for scholarships as soon as your degree starts. If you are provided with any scholarship, it will be mentioned in your Form I-20 as well.
