Prospective Students: Admissions Checklist

Propective students interested in the Hindi Urdu Flagship program should use the following checklist to ensure a complete and timely application to both the Flagship and UT Austin.

  1. University of Texas at Austin Undergraduate Application
    Prospective Flagship Students are required to submit a separate application for undergraduate admission to the University of Texas at Austin Please do not send the UT application for admission or the admissions fee to the Hindi Urdu Flagship Program.

    You can find out more about UT application requirements and begin the application process online at the Be A Longhorn website. Please note the application deadline is changing over the next few years.
  2. Hindi Urdu Flagship Application

    The priority deadline for HUF applications is February 1st for Fall 2010 admission. A rolling admissions process is followed after this. Applications received before February 1 are given priority in admissions and financial aid decisions.
  3. Complete Scholarship and Financial Aid Applications
    Students should complete both the ApplyTexas (UT scholarships) and FAFSA (need-based aid) applications. Most UT scholarships are awarded through these two applications. Please note the ApplyTexas application deadline is December 1st. The FAFSA priority deadline is March 31st. FAFSA applications are available starting January 30th. Be A Longhorn's Financial Aid section has a good overview of the financial aid process. More information is also available at the UT Financial Aid Office website.
