Scholarships

The CLASS Dean's Office offers college-level scholarships to both undergraduate and graduate students who are majoring in one of our departments. In many instances, students also need to complete application materials on the UNT Student Financial Aid & Scholarships web site. We recommend applying separately for scholarships at the university, college, and departmental level to cast as wide a net as possible for your award potential.
