The UT Promise application for students who are not currently high school seniors remains open year round. However, there are two key dates to be aware of:
July 1, 2025: Apply by this date to be eligible for the UT Promise scholarship in the Fall 2025 semester.
December 15, 2025: Apply by this date to be eligible for the UT Promise scholarship in the Spring 2026 semester.
Students who are not currently high school seniors are not required to complete community service and mentorship hours before the start of the semester in which they become a UT Promise student. Once UT Promise dollars are received, non-high school seniors will need to complete the requirements moving forward to maintain their eligibility.
