Receiving scholarship funding is one way to pay your Student Accounts bill while you attend college. Applying for scholarships pays off in more than one way. Not only will you be able to pay your bill at the college, but when you receive additional funding after your bill is paid you can create a savings account with that money. That means you can graduate from UTTC with no loans, no bill, and a savings account to rely on while you look for the perfect job.
We encourage you to explore all of the scholarship options available to you — you’ve earned it!
