Application Prep
The new UCO Foundation scholarship portal is now open and will remain open for approximately one month. The deadline to apply for the 2020-2021 academic year is Friday, Feb. 7, 2020.
A few things you can do to prepare now include:
- Once your grades from Fall 2019 are posted, grab a copy of your unofficial transcript off UCONNECT. You can save it as a pdf. If you have a hold, the scholarship portal will guide you through an acceptable way to navigate a transcript upload.
- Start writing a few sample essay responses. Common essays include:
- Writing about your financial need (How will this scholarship help you?)
- Why did you choose the degree you are pursuing, and how will it help you reach your goals?
- What was your most memorable leadership experience and why?
- Prepare your resume. Even if you aren't specifically asked to attach a resume, the process will help you fill in several blanks.
This year we will give out more than $1 million in scholarship funding, but you have to apply. Don't miss the application window!
