National Undergraduate Scholarship
The
University of Northern Colorado is pleased to announce a unique
scholarship program designed to recognize non-resident students
who have reached a high level of academic achievement. A $6,000
renewable scholarship known as the National Undergraduate Scholarship
will be offered automatically to each applicant to UNC who
meets the eligibility criteria. Early application is highly
recommended. The program is open only to students enrolling
for the first time at UNC. On-line programs are not eligible
for the National Undergraduate Scholarship. The National Undergraduate
Scholarship is not available to Colorado residents.
Eligibility—Transfer Students
You will receive this scholarship if you have:
- Earned at least 30 semester hours of transferable credit with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or above by the application deadline dates of June 15 for fall and November 1 for spring.
- Transfer students must provide documentation of all previous collegiate work completed with proof of a minimum 3.2 cumulative grade point average in 30 or more credit hours by the respective deadlines. To determine eligibility for the National Scholarship program, a new cumulative grade point average will be calculated from all credit attempted at all institutions attended (including repeated classes) using UNC policies and procedures. Final eligibility of transfer students will be pending the receipt of all transcripts from all institutions previously attended.
Renewal Requirements
All National Undergraduate Scholarship recipients must meet the following conditions in order to retain their scholarship eligibility status:
