by our College Data Analytics TeamA lot of students will not be asked to pay the full, advertised sticker price of a school. Instead, they will be given a financial aid offer that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. The total price of attendance at Universal Technical Institute-Dallas Fort Worth can feel overwhelming, but bear in mind that many students receive some sort of financial aid.

How much aid you qualify for depends largely on your family’s financial circumstances. The information provided on this page can help you determine how much aid you may receive from Universal Technical Institute-Dallas Fort Worth.

| Federal Pell grants | 71% | $5,933 |

| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 70% | $4,977 |

Since aid is largely need-based, the real cost of attendance falls steeply for lower-income families.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $22,304 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $23,847 |
| Over $75,000 | $28,168 |
Each figure is the net price after grants and scholarships, not the published sticker price.
After grants and scholarships come off the published price, what remains is the net price — the best estimate of true out-of-pocket cost.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $26,265 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $23,939 |
