Overview

On this page, you'll find information about Honors College Endowment Scholarships that help to cover tuition expenses at UT San Antonio.

Please Note: All endowment and scholarship opportunities are offered contingent upon Financial Aid approval. Final eligibility is determined after a review of the student's cost of attendance and all applicable financial aid regulations. Awarded opportunities will be held for up to 30 days from the date of notification. Recipients are expected to respond and maintain active communication with the Honors Financial team during this period. Failure to respond to or maintain communication within 30 days may result in the award being considered declined, canceled, and offered to another eligible student. Endowment award amounts are based on the market value of the endowment and may fluctuate from year to year. Please note that scholars are not eligible to receive additional scholarship funding.
