University Funded Scholarships

The University funds several scholarships for incoming freshmen with awards ranging from $500 to $8,500 per year. Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic credentials as measured by high school performance and standardized test scores. Award criteria may vary from one scholarship to another. In order to be eligible for a university-funded scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:

Graduated from a high school that is accredited by the Texas Education Agency and/or the appropriate Regional Association of Schools and Colleges

Applied for admission at UH for the Fall semester immediately following high school graduation.

Admissions file must be completed by Nov. 15 to be considered for priority funding. Please note that this is the priority deadline and scholarships will continue to be awarded as long as funds are available.

Students are responsible for submitting new high school transcripts and/or SAT/ACT test scores if class rank or test scores change. Students must then notify the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid when this information has been submitted if they would like their files to be reviewed again. Students may do so by contacting the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid at (713) 743-1010, option 5, or visiting the Welcome Center.

If no high school class rank information is provided on the original transcript submitted with the admissions application, the student is responsible for notifying the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid of any changes to this information. In-lieu of an official ranking provided on the transcript, a statement of rank provided by a school administrator may be sufficient. This statement of rank should include a student's name, UH ID and a confirmation as to whether or not the student would fall in the top 10 percent, top 20 percent or top 30 percent of their respective graduating class.

New SAT/ACT test scores and/or class ranks will be accepted through Jan. 31.

Your completed admissions application allows you to be automatically considered for some scholarships. Other scholarships require a separate application.

Eligibility to Maintain your Scholarship

Your University Funded Scholarship will renew each year provided you meet the following criteria:

Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0;

Maintain full-time enrollment each fall and spring semester; and

Earn a minimum of 30 credit hours of enrollment at UH every academic year.

Transfer hours and AP/Dual credit hours will not count toward the annual 30-hour requirement or the cumulative GPA requirement.

Credit hours for courses repeated will not be included in the semester and annual credit hour requirements.

Any scholarship counts as a financial resource and must be considered when constructing a student award package. Total student aid cannot exceed a student's cost of attendance. The cost of attendance (COA) is an estimate of what it costs the typical student to attend the University of Houston. Your COA includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation and personal expenses. Awards from the University of Houston are subject to change depending on the entire student award package and the student's COA.
