Welcome to the University at Buffalo Scholarship Portal!

The UB Scholarship Portal is a smart shortcut to apply for campus philanthropic scholarships. Log in and complete one application annually to be considered for multiple opportunities. When fully operational, the UB Scholarship Portal will streamline your search for the nearly 900 philanthropic scholarships across campus. Please visit: Financial Aid – Scholarships and check your departmental web site for additional scholarship information.

All currently enrolled students may sign into UB’s Scholarship Portal with your UBIT username and password. Your first step is to complete a General Application. Your responses may prompt a request for you to complete a Conditional Application or additional, scholarship specific questions. Follow your personalized red action prompts on your dashboard and check back on your application status regularly. If you are selected as a scholarship recipient, you will receive an email from ubscholarships@buffalo.edu. This email will provide you the steps that you will need to take to for the scholarship to be applied to your student account.

After July 15th, students need to complete a new General Application for the 2021-2022 academic year to be considered for any scholarship opportunities listed in UB’s Scholarship Portal.

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) application is no longer available. The deadline to submit a completed application was April 16, 2021. Students who applied and are currently enrolled and matriculated in a degree program and who meet federal financial aid requirements may be eligible to receive funding. The 2020-2021 FAFSA must be on file at UB in order to confirm eligibility. Funds are not guaranteed and may be limited in number and size due to funding constraints. HEERF was established as part of the U.S. federal government’s Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and provides emergency financial assistance to eligible students who have experienced financial hardship due to the disruption of campus operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) Grant applications will be reviewed by our committee after the application deadline of April 16, 2021. Once the committee makes a decision on the HEERF Grant application, students will be notified via email. If approved, the funding will be applied to the student account and refunded accordingly. All decisions are final.
