HOW IT WORKS

• You want to maximize the scholarship search process - and we know that's important to you.  ScholarshipU gives you control and is a tool to assist in making the process effective and meaningful.
• All students, regardless of program or status, are advised to create a ScholarshipU account and to also file the FAFSA. 
• Be sure to update your profile frequently.  Information such as your cumulative GPA, number of credits taken, major, etc. change and do affect which scholarships you are matched.
• ScholarshipU allows you to edit or update information on your scholarship application(s) up to the point of submission.  Be sure each application is complete and up to date before submitting.  Once submitted, applications are locked and are not able to be edited.
• Once an application is submitted, please direct any questions about the individual scholarship to the scholarship provider with whom you applied.  UOSFA is unable to answer any questions about the status of the application because the application is submitted directly to the external scholarship provider.
• Be sure to check your ScholarshipU dashboard and Umail account often for updates and new matches.
• Your self-reported information is secure.  All data collected will be used solely for matching you to scholarships.  The University of Utah does not share this information.
• Only current and new, admitted students with a UID are able to login to ScholarshipU.  Parents cannot login to ScholarshipU but are encouraged to help students with obtaining required documents for the scholarship application process.
• All uploaded documents must be in PDF format.
