How to Apply for Scholarships as a New Incoming Undergraduate

  • Institutional scholarships for incoming freshmen and transfer students do not require a separate application, with the exception of our mentored programs. Your application for admission IS your institutional scholarship application! You must apply for admission, submit a high school transcript, and provide standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) to the Office of Admissions in order to be considered for most of our institutional scholarships (scholarships from the university).
  • Private scholarships and mentored programs require an application using Scholarship Universe.
    • Pay attention to the deadlines for the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program and the Chancellor’s Leadership Corps and STEM Academic Scholars.
    • Scholarship Universe will automatically match you to various private scholarships as well as any outside scholarship available to you.
    • For awards with any need-based consideration, you must also complete your 2025-2026 FAFSA before the deadline.
