Verification is completed through your selected campus’s financial aid office.

Your financial aid verification must be fully completed (not just submitted for review) and your UT Promise award accepted by Sept. 1, 2024, for you to be eligible. Failure to do this will result in not receiving the UT Promise. Do not wait to do this as submitting your initial documents may lead to the financial aid office requesting other documents. If your financial aid file is not fully complete, you will not be eligible.
