Institutional Grant Overview

Objective

To provide Institutional Grants for students who are attending Universal Technical Institute, Motorcycle Mechanics Institute, Marine Mechanics Institute or NASCAR Technical Institute campuses (specific campus/program eligibility criteria listed below) with demonstrated financial need.

The grant award will be 10% of program tuition and will be available to students who live, or are relocating from, at least 50 miles from the campus they are attending.

Program variations and restrictions are listed below.

Criteria for Awarding the Grant

Eligibility will be based on proximity to campus* and financial need as determined by the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) calculated by the US Dept. of Education as a result of a student completing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Unless otherwise stated, students who enroll more than 30 days prior to their start date, have an EFC of 11,000 or less, and who have a proximity to the campus of at least 50 miles will be eligible for the grant.

  • Students receiving the Institutional Grant are not eligible to receive the: Relocation Grant, Technical Education Institutional Grant, Salute to Service Grant, or any other UTI need based grant/scholarship/tuition reduction program. If students are eligible for any of the above-mentioned programs, as well as the Institutional Grant, they will need to choose which program they wish to accept.
  • Eligibility will be based on the approved FAFSA results sent to the school, called an Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) that is on file for the 2022-2023 financial aid award year. An approved ISIR meeting the EFC criteria must be received by the school no later than 9 days following the student’s start date to be considered eligible.
