University Scholarships

The University of Advancing Technology seeks to reward students who have shown success, or the potential for success, with scholarships. The University believes that academic performance is not the only indicator of success; scholarship submissions are also examined for leadership experience, technological ability, hobbies, educational or career goals, academic achievements and participation within their community and school.

All scholarship recipients must meet the full admission requirements and be enrolled for a Program of Study within the University of Advancing Technology prior to the disbursement of scholarship funds.

Scholarship values and eligibility depend upon the particular scholarship the student is awarded. Living, transportation, books and supply expenses are the responsibility of the student.

Announcement of scholarship eligibility will be in the form of letters to the applicant's home address and to their respective high school, if applicable. Eligibility for scholarships is usually communicated with the University acceptance letter at the earliest time possible in the application and admission processes. This may occur with the acceptance letter or later. UAT Academic Scholarships have an associated deadline for the submission of documentation supporting the award of the scholarship. These deadlines are published in the Academic Calendars for 2005-2006 section in this academic catalog. Scholarships cannot be awarded after the documentation deadline has passed.

In order to maintain eligibility for a scholarship, the student scholarship recipient must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA (CGPA) per semester at the University of Advancing Technology. The required minimum GPA is dependent on the type of scholarship awarded.

Students who withdraw from school lose any awarded scholarships, unless they have received an authorized leave of absence. Scholarships are not transferable.
