Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for the family grant?
The family grant is given to students who have at least one other sibling in college
(at UDallas or elsewhere) as a full-time, undergraduate student during the same semester
that the UD student is starting attendance. The FAFSA is not required for eligibility.
If my sibling already attends UDallas, will we both get a grant?
Only students entering in the fall of 2026 will receive this grant.
Does my sibling need to be a full-time student for me to be eligible to receive this
grant?
Yes, your sibling will need to be a full-time, undergraduate student at community
college or a four-year institution.
What materials are necessary to submit in order to receive this award?
Incoming students will need to submit proof of registration for their sibling enrolled
in college in order to have this grant added to their financial aid package. The document
submitted needs to include the name of the sibling, the name of the institution that
they are attending, and it needs to clearly show that the sibling is enrolled full-time
(at least 12 credit hours) at their institution for the same semester that the incoming
student is starting attendance at UD.
Is the FAFSA required for eligibility?
No, students are not required to submit the FAFSA in order to receive this award.
All that is necessary is documentation of having another sibling enrolled in college.
Are international students eligible?
Yes, as long as the correct documentation for having another sibling attending college
is submitted, students outside the United States are also eligible.
NOTE: The Family Grant is a tuition-only grant; it may not be used for room and board or fees. In addition, the Family Grant could impact a student's need-based aid. Finally, a Family Grant cannot be added to a full-tuition scholarship. If you have specific questions, please contact your financial aid or admission counselor.
The deadline to apply for the Family Grant is April 1.
