BSN Scholars Tuition Information

  • The BSN Scholars Program covers last dollar (after scholarships or grants) towards the payment of tuition and fees. This includes tuition, fees, program and service charges. The BSN Scholars Program does not cover room and board, meal plans, e-books, nursing student insurance, etc.
  • Prior to the start of semester/term, the College of Nursing provides the list of BSN Scholars Program students to the Bursar’s Office. This applies to fall, spring and summer. 
  • Tuition and fees (mandatory and course fees) will be covered by a UT Medical Center contract payment. This contract payment is placed on the student account on the tuition due date each semester. On the payment due date for the semester/term, financial aid will disburse scholarships/grants. There may be adjustments to the contract payments based upon additional scholarships/grants disbursed to the students accounts after the initial contract payment is applied (in particular, when the financial aid award is disbursed after the payment due date or later in the semester).
  • If a student does not receive any scholarships or grants, the tuition and fees will be paid in full through the tuition assistance provided by UT Medical Center.
  • You are not required to accept student loans as part of the BSN Scholars Program. Please consult financial aid to understand the impacts before taking out a loan.
  • After tuition is finalized for the semester, an invoice is created and submitted to UT Medical Center. This invoice is usually sent 4-6 weeks after the start date of the semester to ensure the tuition dollar amount owed is accurate. 
  • UT Medical Center will provide a minimum of $4,250 of tuition assistance per semester. If the total amount of your tuition and fees is less than the minimum tuition assistance coverage (based upon the dollar amount of scholarships and grants that you receive), the student will receive disbursement of excess aid funds. Excess aid funds will not be applied to the student’s account until after UT Medical Center is invoiced by the College of Nursing (separate invoice from tuition & fees) and payment is received by the Bursar’s Office from UT Medical Center. The payment of excess aid funds is usually received and applied to the student’s account towards the latter part of the semester. 
  • If a student thinks their account balance is incorrect, or they have any additional questions related to account balances, please email [email protected]. The student may also contact [email protected] (Bursar’s Office) to discuss the account balance (contract payments and excess aid funds).
