Our department has one of the largest undergraduate scholarship programs at UT with more than half of our students receiving scholarship support.

High school seniors with grade-point-averages of 3.0 or better are automatically considered for a first-year departmental scholarship, which can range from $1,000 – $5,000 per year. Department scholarships are renewable for subsequent years based on merit, department involvement, and continued pursuit of a degree in MSE. These MSE-specific scholarships are independent of other sources of financial aid from UT.

Eligible first-year students will be contacted by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering’s Scholarship Committee in the spring of their senior year of high school to register for department scholarships.

For more information on financial aid opportunities for undergraduate students from the college and university, visit the Tickle College of Engineering’s Financial Aid and Scholarships page.

Financial support for graduate students is available through graduate assistantships and through several multi-year or single-year fellowships filled on a competitive basis. Head to UT Grad School for more information on the policies regarding graduate assistantships and graduate fellowships.
