We recommend all new students explore their federal student aid options. Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form helps determine your eligibility for funds, including grants and student loans.10 When applying, the first step in the process is to create a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) number. This will give you access to the Federal Student Aid online systems and can serve as your legal signature.

APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS

You may be eligible for other scholarships and grants that can help cover some of your tuitions costs. They typically don’t need to be repaid and are awarded based on certain criteria.

Check out our scholarships page to review the scholarship and grant opportunities. Don’t forget to do your own research for other opportunities available to help you pay your tuition.

SAVE MONEY TO GET YOU STARTED

It’s important to plan ahead, especially for those students who are relocating to attend UTI. Creating a budget and a savings plan will make your transition to school easier, so calculate your anticipated costs and begin setting aside money each month. We recommend you have at least $1,500 to $2,000 in savings before school begins.
