My DD is currently on a NM scholarship at UTD. It is a basically a full ride. It pays for full tuition and fees and pays $11,000 stipend for on campus housing. If you choose to live off campus the stipend drops to $8000. UTD also pays up to $6000 for study abroad. This allowed my DD to go to Italy for 6 weeks last summer. The GPA requirement is 3.0. UTD has been a great school for her. It’s most popular programs are STEM, business and ATEC. Its building its liberal arts and humanities programs. It does not have a large sports or greek scene. It is an extremely diverse school. It is an academically focused school in a good area. UTD is in the suburb of Richardson which makes it very safe but the Dallas metroplex is just 15 minutes away. It has been the perfect school for my DD. Check it out.
