Scholarships
Thanks to generous donors, the UA Foundation coordinates the administration and awarding of over $6.1 million in scholarships annually.
The countdown begins! On Oct.1, UA will provide a new and improved scholarship experience for students.
AWARDED: The New Scholarship Management System
UA has moved away from the Kaleidoscope platform to a new Scholarship Management System called AWARDED.
Applications are no longer required for most scholarships in the new system. However, students will increase their chance of receiving more scholarships by filling out an optional profile. Some scholarships will require this information to meet donor-set criteria.
Now More Accessible and Student-Friendly
The university is committed to reducing financial stress and enhancing the academic
journey for students. As part of this commitment, we’re improving how private scholarships
are managed, making the process more flexible, transparent and student-centered. The
transformation is a joint effort involving the UA Foundation, UAA, ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ, UAS and UA
system.
Key Benefits of AWARDED
- An easier, more streamlined application experience for students
- Improved communication and updates for applicants
- Faster and more efficient scholarship selection and awarding
Rolling Deadlines for Greater Flexibility
- Coming soon to better serve students, AWARDED will provide rolling deadlines, allowing students to be considered for scholarships throughout the year.
-
The change will support students in their academic planning and ensure more timely scholarship decisions.
Eligibility
Scholarships are available to students attending UAA, ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ or UAS, including all community
campuses. There are many scholarship options, including those based on merit, financial
need, field of study, life circumstances, outstanding achievement, or any combination
of these criteria.
Support Through the Transition
To ensure a smooth transition to AWARDED, each UA university has hired Scholarship
Process Improvement Coordinators. These dedicated staff members will help guide students
and staff through the new system and ensure a seamless experience.
