Scholarships are a great way to help you pay for the cost of your education.
There are two categories of scholarships: merit and need. While both recognize the highest-achieving applicants, the first type is awarded entirely on the basis of merit, the other on financial need as well as merit. Private scholarships are also available from other sources.
Attention Undergraduates:
You may be eligible to receive a merit scholarship from UB.
- Freshman: Awards are made on the basis of high school GPA and SAT/ACT score(s).
- Transfer students: Awards are made on the basis of cumulative college GPA.
Fill out this form and we'll send you an estimated award amount.
