Where do I mail my scholarship check?

University of Texas At San Antonio
Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services
One UTSA Circle
San Antonio, TX 78249

Please only mail scholarship checks to Student Financial Aid Enrollment Services. Tuition payments must be mailed to Fiscal Services.

What if I do not attend UTSA and my donor sent my scholarship check to UTSA?

If a student is not enrolled at UTSA at Census Date, funds will be refunded to the donor, not the student. If a student decides not to attend UTSA and the scholarship check has already been sent to UTSA, the student must notify their donor and Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services so that the check/funds can be returned to the donor as soon as possible. UTSA cannot transfer scholarship funds to another institution. It will be up to the donor to send funds to the new institution.
