Eligibility questions

Don't worry if you don't answer yes to some of these questions. Not all of our scholarships have additional eligibility requirements. This will help us determine if you are eligible for a few others.

How many credit hours of college work have you completed? *

Not sure how many hours you have? Check your unofficial transcript on my.unt.edu. Instructions on how to do that are available in this PDF file. (Links open in a new window.)

What's your GPA? *

We're asking this because some scholarships for your major require your cumulative, college-work GPA to be in a certain range.

Have you completed PHYS 1520 or PHYS 2220? *

Yes

FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It helps us determine your eligibility for scholarships that are awarded to students who need financial assistance.

We strongly recommend you complete your FAFSA before submitting this form. Based on your selections on this form so far, it looks like you may qualify for some scholarships that also require you fill out your FAFSA. It's okay if you haven't filled out your FAFSA for this year, but that means you won't qualify for some scholarships if you don't fill it out. You can fill out your FAFSA at https://fafsa.ed.gov.
