Application Instructions

• Be prepared to provide essays, email contact for individuals providing letters of recommendation, or other documents that may be required. These documents must be uploaded to your online application prior to the scholarship opportunity deadline. The application will state if letters of recommendation, essays, etc. are required for a scholarship. All document attachments become the property of UNT and will not be returned.
• If you encounter problems or have questions about the Eagle Scholarship Portal, please view the Application Help and Frequently Asked Questions. Some users may experience slow website performance as the deadline approaches.
• If selected for a scholarship award,  award notification will be sent to your EagleConnect account, UNT's official email service. Students are encouraged to monitor EagleConnect and MyUNT for award information. Most awards are announced by late June.

Scholarship Requirements

• Maintain continuous enrollment and take the minimum required UNT Hours each fall/spring. Most scholarships require at least full time UNT enrollment and completion of at least 24 UNT Hours annually if you have a renewable scholarship, depending on the first term of your award (fall/spring or spring/fall).
• Maintain the minimum UNT GPA and plan and use UNT Learning Center resources to help with all your academic needs.
• Scholarship recipients not meeting renewal requirements will receive appeal guidance via EagleConnect.
• Keep a copy of your Scholarship Award Agreement with your other important documents so you can access and reference is easily.
