Description
UNT is committed to providing the best undergraduate educational experience in Texas, and our renewable scholarships for incoming freshman is just one example of our commitment!
Amount
Awards range from $3,000 to 8,000 per year based on high school rank and test scores.
Eligibility
UNT Excellence Scholarships are available to entering freshman who are in the top 50% of their high school graduating class and score at least 1100 on the SAT (Math/Reading Sections) or 24 on the ACT. International students admitted as entering freshman are also considered for these scholarships based on the required high school rank and test scores noted.
The UNT Excellence Scholarship program offers entering freshman with a wide range of academics to be considered for two-year and four-year renewable scholarships. Students considering UNT are encouraged to access the Scholarship Calculator to estimate scholarship eligibility. Note: Students meeting the minimum criteria for both elements (high school rank and test score) may not meet eligibility requirements for an award. The earlier students complete the calculator to determine eligibility, the more time students have to evaluate whether or not to retake the SAT and/or ACT to establish scholarship eligibility.
Entering freshmen admitted for the fall term immediately following high school graduation are evaluated for scholarship awards based on completed admission and scholarship applications. UNT will continue to award these scholarships for the academic year (fall/spring) based on available funding, with priority consideration given to the earliest applicants. Students should ensure their most current transcripts and test scores are updated with UNT Admissions.
Keep the following in mind with regard to scholarship consideration:
- Many students compete for available scholarships, which are made based on merit and on a first-come, first-served basis to students enrolling in the fall term.
- At this time, no scholarship funding is available for new students entering in the spring term.
- Scholarship criteria are nonnegotiable and subject to change.
- Students eligible for multiple scholarship opportunities will receive the most beneficial award. Receipt of multiple awards is limited by funding available.
- University of North Texas Scholarships administered by Student Financial Aid & Scholarships (SFAS) are funded through tuition revenue. As such, enrollment is required to receive the scholarships and disbursements are applied to tuition/fees for all recipients.
