Graduate students can qualify for in-state tuition in two main ways. If a student receives a fellowship in the amount of $1,000 or more during an academic year from the School or the University which was awarded competitively, they qualify for an out-of-state tuition waiver. The Graduate Advisor or Coordinator in your department must request this waiver for you from the Engineering Scholarship Program. Additionally, students employed by the University for 20 hours or more, typically as a TA or GRA, can qualify for an out-of-state tuition waiver through their employment status by completing the Resident Tuition Entitlement form through UT Direct. Students employed as TA/AIs also qualify for tuition assistance.
