The Department of Radio-Television-Film awards several fellowships/scholarships each year to deserving graduate students. Departmental fellowships and University-wide scholarships often require separate applications, so read carefully the application instructions for any scholarship for which you are applying.

RTF & College of Communication Scholarships
The Department of Radio-Television-Film awards several scholarships made possible by endowments created by alumni and friends of the department. The link to the scholarship application is made available on this page every year. The College of Communication application deadline for the next academic year is always March 31.

Non-RTF Scholarships
For information about University-wide and private/non-UT scholarships, consult TexasScholarships.org, a portal managed by the University's Office of Student Financial Services that houses a vast array of scholarship resources offered by and through UT Austin.

Loans & Grants
