Scholarships based on unmet financial need.
To qualify for these scholarships, you will need to exhibit that you have not met your cost of attendance (COA) and that you still have unmet need. If you have questions about unmet need and what it means, please contact the OSFA.
These are just a few of the many scholarship and award opportunities for which you may be eligible. To view non-Honors opportunities, we recommend utilizing Scholarship Universe, the university's scholarship-matching database. By creating a Scholarship Universe profile, you will be matched to relevant scholarship opportunities.
To leverage Scholarship Universe, you must be admitted to the University of Arizona. Take the first step by completing your admissions application, and be sure to check "Yes" when prompted about your interest in the W.A. Franke Honors College.
For questions about any of the Honors scholarships below, please contact Angie Valdez, Assistant Director of Internal Scholarships.
