Scholarships for undergraduate degree program

Who is eligible?

First-year undergraduate applicants to the University of Connecticut for the Fall 2025 intake. Students applying to any UConn campus are considered.

What scholarships are available?

There are 3 merit-based awards for international students:

• Global Leader Award $5,000*
• Global Distinction Award $10,000*
• Global Excellence Award $15,000*

Who gets a scholarship?

Scholarships are awarded based on UConn’s holistic review of an application. UConn look for students who have exceptional academic achievement and excel as leaders both in and out of the classroom. GPA plays a part but is not the sole criteria.

How to apply?

There is no separate application. All students are automatically evaluated for a scholarship as part of the review of their application for admission.

When are scholarships awarded?

Students are notified of any scholarship when they receive their admission decision: March 1, 2025 for applicants to Storrs main campus, or on a rolling basis for applicants to other campuses.

Are they renewable?

Yes! The scholarships are renewable annually for a maximum of 8 semesters of full-time undergraduate study, as long as the student maintains a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average. For students meeting that criteria, the renewal amount each year is the same as the student’s initial award.

Anything else I need to know?

For Fall 2025 applicants, priority consideration for scholarships is given to applications completed by December 1, 2024. After that date, applicants may still be awarded scholarships if funds remain. Transfer applicants are not eligible for a UConn scholarship. Conditionally admitted students who join a UCAELI pathway program will receive any scholarship awarded when they matriculate into full- time degree study.
