FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY (FAU) - Boca Raton (for more scholarships visit their website at www.fau.edu/admissions/)

All scholarships are limited, competitive and awarded on a rolling basis early in the admission process. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee a scholarship. They require continuous enrollment (excluding summers), full-time status, and are available for Fall and Spring terms only. Students must be admitted as degree seeking before being considered for a scholarship. Not all scholarships require an application. For those scholarships that require an application, the deadline is March 1 unless otherwise noted. Scholarships offered through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions are not stackable and may not be used for enrollment at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College. Note: The Scholarship Committee strongly recommends completion of the essay portion of all scholarship applications. The essay is often a significant factor in the selection of scholarship recipients. NAME AMOUNT APPLY QUALIFICATIONS
