Paying for School

College and Departmental Scholarships
The academic departments and colleges at UTEP also offer scholarships and assistantships. Award amounts and criteria vary. College scholarships are typically available to any student within that college who meets the scholarship criteria, while departmental scholarships are awarded to students majoring in a specific disciplines.
PASE
Mexican nationals may also wish to apply for the PASE program. The Student Assistance Program (PASE) is a financial assistance program for Mexican students. This program grants a tuition discount to the participants, so they can pay the same tuition as the residents of the state of Texas. Once a student is approved for PASE, they must recertify each year to continue receiving the benefits of the Program.
