How to Apply for Undergraduate Scholarships

Fully admitted undergraduate students in the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education, as well as those Arts & Sciences students admitted into the TE-PLUS certification program are encouraged to apply for college-administered scholarships. Complete applications are placed in consideration for each scholarship for which the applicant is deemed to be a qualified applicant.  Not every scholarship account listed will have sufficient funding to be awarded for each academic year.  The application deadline is Feb. 1 for scholarships to be awarded for the following academic year (ie.
