Our Opportunities

Welcome to the UB’s Scholarship Portal! We’re here to help you find funding for your education.

UB Scholarship Portal is unavailable from July 1 to July 14, 2025, for essential maintenance. During this two-week period, students won’t be able to access any scholarship applications or opportunities. The Portal will reopen on July 15, 2025. At that time, students can begin completing the new General Application for the 2025-2026 aid year.

Questions can be referred to ubscholarships@buffalo.edu.
