Important tips and guidelines
- Scholarship applications that are currently open are listed first in the table below. They have a specific Due Date listed. Scholarships with a season listed in the Due column are not currently open.
- If you are not currently a full-time UVA student (such as an incoming first-year or transfer student), please contact Molly Bass to determine eligibility before applying.
- You must be enrolled full-time at UVA during the semester(s) in which the scholarship is paid. Money will not be retroactively applied to previous semesters.
- Unless a geographic region is indicated, all scholarships are open to international students.
- Citizenship, as a criterion, refers to the activity and not to a student’s residency.
- All scholarships will be divided over two semesters unless indicated. Anyone planning to graduate after one semester may only receive one semester of the award.
- ALL applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date they are due, and must be submitted through the online form.
