October 1. The sooner you complete it the better <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> can meet your<br />

Use our scholarship page to identify additional<br />
opportunities <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> offers that fit your personal<br />
criteria at finaid.untdallas.edu/scholarships. Most<br />

to award scholarships after the priority date; however, this<br />
automatic process does not guarantee that you will receive a<br />
scholarship, as funding is limited.<br />
