There are a number of ways to get help with financing your Texas McCombs MPA degree.
Loans
Federal loan programs provide a primary source of financial aid to domestic graduate business students. To be eligible to apply for federal financial aid, a student must be admitted to the MPA program, be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, be enrolled full-time for each semester that aid is received, and be in good scholastic standing (3.0 or better grade point average). To be considered for federal aid, students must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Scholarships
- MPA Merit Scholarships and Tuition Waivers: All admitted U.S. applicants are automatically considered for merit scholarships; a scholarship application is not required. Recipients are notified prior to their admissions response deadlines. In addition, out-of-state tuition waivers are awarded each year to high-achieving non-Texas residents.
- TBA Accounting Student Scholarships: Administered by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, the TBA Accounting Student Scholarships are awarded based on the following criteria: Texas residency, financial need, grade point average, and a commitment to take the CPA exam in Texas. Applications are distributed by the MPA Program Office, but the office does not make the decision regarding who receives these scholarships.
- Other Accounting Scholarships: Many organizations offer scholarships to encourage the pursuit of an accounting education. For example, the AICPA provides a listing of several scholarship opportunities.
