University of Texas at Austin
Full Ride
December
The Forty Acres Scholars Program is a full-ride merit scholarship for incoming students at UT Austin. Applying to UT through the Common App or ApplyTexas automatically places eligible students in the candidate pool; a standalone scholarship application is no longer required. Applicants may also submit the optional Scholarship Interest Form in MyStatus. For 2027-28 entry, UT’s early-action deadline is October 15, 2026 and the final deadline is December 1, 2026.
