Now that's a Relief!

UTRGV FALL LIFTOFF $1,000
What exactly is the FALL LIFTOFF?

    Students eligible for the FALL LIFTOFF (see below for eligibility criteria) will receive up to $1000 applied toward tuition and mandatory fees, after current Federal and State aid (like Pell Grant and Texas Grant), scholarships, and other gift aid are applied. FALL LIFTOFF will be posted directly on the student’s account only if a balance remains after this aid is applied.

Can this be combined with the Graduate Dean’s Scholarship?
What are the required enrollment criteria to receive FALL LIFTOFF?

    Be enrolled fulltime by August 1 for Fall 2021. Undergraduate students must be enrolled in 12 or more hours and graduate students are required to enroll in 9 or more hours (combination of fall module 1 and fall module 2).

Is FALL LIFTOFF considered a loan?

No, FALL LIFTOFF is not considered a loan, and does not require repayment.

What costs are covered by FALL LIFTOFF?

Up to $1,000 of tuition and mandatory fees.

Who is eligible for FALL LIFTOFF?
New and continuing undergraduate, graduate, transfer, and transient, including international students, and students in Accelerated Online Programs, who meet the enrollment criteria are eligible for FALL LIFTOFF.
Will the award be automatically applied to my bill?
Eligible students meeting the enrollment deadline will have the award automatically applied.
When will I receive FALL LIFTOFF?
Eligible students meeting the enrollment deadline will have the award applied prior to the Fall tuition due date.
Is there a cutoff date for enrollment to get FALL LIFTOFF?
Yes, students must enroll by August 1, 2021.
If I am enrolled in all online courses for Fall 2021, do I qualify for FALL LIFTOFF?

ALL courses, online and in-person, will qualify for FALL LIFTOFF.

No, a financial-aid application is not required.

Do I need to have a financial aid application (FAFSA or TASFA) in order to receive FALL LIFTOFF?

No, a financial aid application is not required.

Do I need to apply to receive FALL LIFTOFF?

No application is required. UTRGV will identify students who meet the enrollment and eligibility criteria.

How will FALL LIFTOFF be determined?

Eligible undergraduate and graduate students (see “who is eligible”) enrolled fulltime by August 1, 2021 can receive up to $1000 applied toward tuition and mandatory fees, after your current Federal and State aid (like Federal Fall Pell Grant and Texas Grant), scholarships, and other gift aid is applied. Any remaining tuition and mandatory fees balance not covered by the above programs can be covered by FALL LIFTOFF up to $1000. For example, if you have a $500 balance after all aid and scholarships are applied to your account, you will only receive $500 as part of FALL LIFTOFF.

May I receive partial FALL LIFTOFF if I enroll in less than the required number of hours?

No, there are no partial awards for less than the required number of hours of enrollment.

What if I need less than the required number of hours to graduate in Fall 2021?
An exception may be made if you have submitted a Fall 2021 graduation application and your DegreeWorks reflects less credit hours than the required number needed to graduate. Contact scholarships@utrgv.edu.
Do I get extra FALL LIFTOFF funds if I enroll in more than the required number of hours?

No. The FALL LIFTOFF maximum award is $1000. Undergraduate tuition is capped at 12 credit hours, so taking 15-18 hours per semester helps you maximize your budget.

If I have graduated but still want to take some classes during Fall, will I be eligible for FALL LIFTOFF?
Yes, all students who meet the enrollment and eligibility criteria can receive FALL LIFTOFF, up to $1,000.
If I already paid for Fall, can I get a reimbursement if I meet the requirements?
Yes, you can still receive FALL LIFTOFF. If you meet the enrollment requirements, the FALL LIFTOFF amount you are eligible to receive will be applied to your student account. Any credit created due to an out-of-pocket payment will be refunded to you.
Do hours in graduate certificate programs count towards the required number of hours for FALL LIFTOFF?
Yes, enrollment in courses towards graduate certificate programs will be counted towards the enrollment requirement.
How is UTRGV able to do this?
The FALL LIFTOFF program is being funded from UTRGV funds and is meant to make it easier for you to continue your education. UTRGV is committed to helping you meet your academic goals.
