Undergraduate Scholarships

Awards generally range from $500 to $2,500 a year, depending on the scholarship, the qualifications of the recipient, and the number of qualified applicants.

To be eligible to apply for scholarships, applicants must be seeking a degree in a major or program offered within the college. For most scholarships, undergraduates must be enrolled full time (12 credit hours or more) during the period for which they receive a scholarship. Financial need is a criterion for some scholarships, but it is not a requirement for application.

Recipients are generally notified of their awards in the summer prior to the academic year. For more information, contact Angela Bullard-Thomas at bullarda@fiu.edu or 305.348.0051.
