Eligibility requirements are listed in each scholarship description. For more scholarship opportunities, be sure to check out: Financial Aid – Scholarships. For graduate students looking for assistantships, contact your department.

Current UB Students: Log in with your UBIT credentials. Once you’ve finished the General Application, you may see prompts for a Conditional Application or supplemental questions for specific scholarships. These are required if you are would like to be considered for those opportunities. Keep an eye on the red action prompts on your dashboard for next steps, and check your application status often.

Incoming Summer/Fall 2025 Students: The General Application for recruitment scholarships opens on March 1st.
