The scholarship process for all undergraduates and all scholarships \r\n(both major specific ones and all general scholarships) begins with \r\n\r\n 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Panther Scholarship Portal<\/a>. Graduate students can also \r\n follow this process, though most of the available scholarship \r\n funding is for undergraduates. See the graduate \r\n student funding page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\r\n

How and when to apply:<\/h2>\r\n
  1. Log into the portal and your general application. This must be done a minimum of \r\nonce per school year but we recommend doing this twice a year at the \r\nstart of each semester (September and January).<\/li>\r\n
  2. In the portal, complete the Letters & Science scholarship \r\n application. Here is where you will upload a copy \r\n of your transcript (also recommended to be done in September and \r\n January).
    \r\n
    Completing steps 1 and 2 will match you to most scholarships \r\n based on the information you enter.<\/li>\r\n
  3. You may see scholarships on your Panther Scholarship Portal \r\n dashboard that you can \u201cApply To.\u201d These are scholarships which \r\n require additional information beyond steps 1 and 2. Complete \r\n any of these you wish to apply for.<\/li><\/ol>\r\n

    The Panther Scholarship Portal can also be used to find \r\n\r\n non-51ÁÔÆæ (private) scholarships<\/a> that have registered with 51ÁÔÆæ. \r\n These may be scholarships sponsored by local or national organizations, \r\n fraternal clubs or other companies outside of 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\r\n

    Students are responsible for reading and understanding \r\n 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s policies regarding scholarship applications<\/a>. \r\n Please pay particular attention to the section on the use of AI (such as Chat GPT).<\/p>\r\n

    In the portal, the African and African Diaspora Studies Department \r\noffers these scholarships and awards just for their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
