Applying to Scholarship Opportunities

Once the 11 questions on the General Application are answered, you are automatically matched to scholarships for which you meet the donor’s criteria.  No other action is needed for these scholarships. 

You will be presented with a list of Recommended scholarship opportunities.  These scholarships require additional information that is not included in the General Application.  You are encouraged to click on each scholarship name to review the criteria.  We encourage you to apply for scholarships where you meet the donor’s additional requirements.

Providing References

Not all scholarships require letters of recommendation.  If a letter of recommendation is needed, you will be prompted to enter the individual’s full name and email address.  It is an expectation that you respectfully request permission to use an individual as a reference PRIOR to entering their contact information.  Once the contact information is entered, an email will be immediately sent to the individual with a link to upload a letter of recommendation directly to your application.  You will not be able to view the content of the letter but will be able to see that the letter has been received.

Entering Essays

Not all scholarships require an essay. If an essay is needed, you will be prompted with the essay subject and text area in which to enter your essay.  We encourage you to use word processing tools to confirm that your essay is grammatically accurate (spelling and punctuation).  You may preview the content of your essay to ensure that no unusual formatting occurs after copy/paste from another program.

Imported UNT Information

Once your General Application is completed, your UNT personal, contact and academic information is imported from the UNT’s Enterprise Information System (EIS).  If you have concerns about the information in the imported fields, you cannot update the information on the application.  You must contact the appropriate cognizant authority to make any necessary updates.  Reference information is provided below:
