Tuition and fees are calculated based on the student’s place of residence. Some tuition exemptions are available at UTEP and are explained by the Office of Student Financial Aid.Office of Student Financial Aid
Additional Expenses
There are additional expenses associated with earning your graduate degree beyond the tuition charged per credit hour of coursework. Some such costs include professional development opportunities (travel to conferences and institutes, event attendance, etc.), books and materials, and technology.
For you to be considered for most forms of financial aid, you should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Even if you don’t plan to accept student loans, US citizens and eligible non-citizens should complete the form to be considered for certain need-based grants and other types of funding.Office of Student Financial Aid
Budgeting
An important tool in establishing your financial literacy and success is a budget. Check out the resources below to help you conceptualize how to make ‘cents’ of grad school and beyond.
The UTEP Wellbeing website showcases resources to support our six primary areas of wellbeing: physical, emotional, financial, intellectual, environmental, and social.
In addition to receiving income to offset living expenses, graduate student employees (GSEs) are eligible for certain benefits like assistantship opportunities, tuition waivers, and access to UTEP’s student health insurance plan (SHIP). Information about positions as a Research Assistant (RA), Graduate Assistant (GA), Teaching Assistant (TA), or Assistant Instructor (AI) are provided by each program.
