Financial Aid Applications & Eligibility
Check academic requirements, understand how YUTP and TAZU applications are assessed,
and explore your next steps if funding is unsuccessful.
What happens if my financial aid application is unsuccessful?

For YUTP, applicants must achieve a minimum GPA of 3.50 to apply and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.00 after receiving financial assistance. For TAZU, applicants must achieve a minimum GPA and CGPA of 2.00 to apply and maintain the same requirement after receiving assistance.
