The goal of the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid at UNCW is to provide students and their families with information on both internal and external scholarship opportunities. Scholarships are gifts of money that do not require repayment.
Scholarships usually recognize special achievements in academics, talent, and leadership. Some scholarships may also require that students demonstrate financial need. Financial need will be determined by submitting the FAFSA. Scholarships can come from a variety of sources. Scholarships may be awarded by the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid, Admissions, Honors, and by each of the colleges on our campus. There are scholarships for transfer students as well as students currently enrolled at the university.
UNCW has many scholarships that have been made available through the generous donations of alumni and friends of the university. Scholarship eligibility, criteria, and amounts may vary. Information pertaining to the scholarships available and the application process may be obtained from our University Scholarship Application located in mySeaport
and directly through our
Scholarship Manager Student Portal. The application opens each December 1
and closes June 1. Students may also find additional information about discipline specific scholarships by contacting the academic department of their intended major or by viewing college Web pages.
