College Scholarships

Scholarships and awards are available to both incoming UNI students (first-year and transfer students) and current UNI students. One application completed through the online UNIversity Scholarship Application will be used to apply for college-level scholarships. All applicants will be considered for any of the College of Humanities, Arts and Sciences scholarships for which they qualify.

To be considered, nominees for all awards must attend UNI in the Fall 2013 semester. To receive the full amount of the award, the student must enroll for both fall and spring semesters of the 2013-14 academic year.

Contact the dean's office, (319) 273-2725, for additional information and to submit transcripts and letters of reference. Other scholarships, listed on the Financial Aid Directory of Scholarships, are available through the various departments in the college. Please see individual department websites for additional scholarship opportunities. For more information regarding financial aid opportunities, visit the Office of Student Financial Aid.
