APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Beginning in fall, 2024 the application for scholarships offered by the College of Education (COE) will be Scholarship Universe.
Scholarship Universe is an online scholarship matching tool for students that makes finding and applying for both internal and external scholarships faster and easier. Internal scholarships refer to scholarships directly awarded by Florida Atlantic University, and external scholarships refer to any scholarships awarded by an outside source.
Scholarship Universe saves time with results best suited for students. Some opportunities require additional information such as reference letters or supporting documentation. Review FAU’s Scholarship Tips for best practices on applying.
Please note:
Meeting the minimum criteria does not guarantee a scholarship award. A current FAFSA must be on file with the Financial Aid office and must show unmet need for the semester for scholarships requiring financial need.
International Students:
The scholarships that indicate “financial need” as required in the criteria will require a FAFSA to be on file, so international students may need to consider their eligibility. International students are still encouraged to apply to merit-based scholarships that do not have a "financial need" requirement.
Recipient Selection:
If selected for a scholarship, students are notified via their FAU email. Students are responsible for checking their FAU emails and meeting deadlines to respond with a "thank you" letter to the donor. Failure to follow this procedure and adhere to the deadlines will result in forfeiting the scholarship.
Only students who receive scholarships will be notified.
