Our Opportunities
Welcome to the UB Scholarship Portal! We’re here to help you find funding for your education.
The 2024-2025 General Application is now available – complete it today! This application is your gateway to a variety of campus philanthropic scholarships.
Use your UBIT credentials to log in and complete the General Application annually, after July 15th. You can also browse available scholarships on the portal’s homepage anytime. 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. Award notifications are sent to your buffalo.edu email. If you receive an award offer, please finalize the payment within two weeks to secure your funding.
Incoming Summer/Fall 2025 Students: The General Application for recruitment scholarships opens on March 1st. Please note: Merit scholarships are handled by the Offices of Admissions and International Admissions, not through this portal. Contact them directly for merit scholarship inquiries.
A Note on Essays: We encourage you to share your personal story in your own authentic voice. Please write your essays yourself and avoid using AI writing tools.
Scholarship funding is contingent upon enrollment, academic standing and satisfactory progress toward your degree. International students are eligible for most scholarships (exceptions will be noted).
For faster scholarship refunds, set up Direct Deposit.
Keyword searches should be limited to one word or phrase (ex. engineering). Do not use comma separators or unrelated strings (ex. math, physics; arts and sciences political science).
Award amounts published are for general information – actual amounts may vary.
Opportunities are scholarships accepting applications.
Recommended Opportunities match with your application responses or HUB credentials, so explore those first and consider answering the supplemental questions. You may apply for any opportunity if you meet the basic qualifications.
Action options are “none” (students are automatically considered if qualified) or “apply” (you need to answer supplemental questions to be considered).
Deadlines are 11:59 PM on the posted date. All application materials, including reference letters must be submitted on time to be considered.
Questions can be referred to ubscholarships@buffalo.edu.
