How generous is financial aid at UT?

Most likely, if I apply, I’d apply for engineering for 12+ credit hours, which should be about 5k/semester. That means the fee should be about 25k. Hopefully for an EFC of 0, I’ll get about 10k for the year. I don’t know how I’m going to afford 15k, and I am NOT going to take that amount in loans.

If I become a resident, then that would contribute another 6k (from BOT), and hopefully some other scholarships.

Any advice? What are good scholarships for out-of-staters (that aren’t too cut-throat with the competition)?
