Scholarships
A variety of undergraduate scholarships exist within the university such those offered by the university, college and department. Scholarships also exist external to the university such as those provided by corporations, non-profits, and professional organizations. Prospective, incoming freshman, incoming transfer, and continuing students are highly encouraged to apply for all scholarships for which they are eligible.
For internal UH scholarships, state law requires that each student identify any relation to a current University of Houston Board of Regent member. A student who is related to a current member of the governing board of that institution is prohibited from receiving scholarships unless the scholarship is awarded exclusively based on academic merit or is an athletic scholarship.
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. University of Houston awards are subject to change depending on the entire student award package and the students’ COA.
