@Noviite we are in the same situation.
My son’s tab says that his scholarship application has been received and to see “CASH” for financial aid information. When I click that, it says he needs to visit the UT Austin ID Center to upgrade his UT EID. We are OOS in New England, so visiting the UT Austin ID center isn’t happening until orientation. I assume that he will be notified about any scholarships/able to view the information without having to upgrade his ID before orientation? Anyone know?
