University Relations

The Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the U of A is accepting scholarship applications for the 2024-25 academic year. Scholarship applications and descriptions are available on the college's website.

The college manages the application process for several general college scholarships, as well as the J.W. and Elizabeth W. Fulbright Endowed Scholarship for Study Abroad.

"There are so many amazing opportunities for both need-based and merit-based funding, and we want our students to have access to as much financial support as possible," said Kathryn Sloan, interim dean of Fulbright College. "I encourage and hope our students will explore the options that best suit their needs and interests."

Applicants for general college scholarships must apply online using the scholarship application.

The application process will close at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 15, when the online application will no longer be available. Applications will be evaluated after the applicants are matched with the scholarships for which they are eligible.

Applications for the J.W. and Elizabeth W. Fulbright Endowed Scholarship for Study Abroad may also be filled out online. The application form and all accompanying materials must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 1.

Other available scholarships include those offered by individual academic departments, programs and centers as well as the Fulbright Honors Program. These may also be found via links on the college's scholarships and fellowships page.   

The applicants selected for the J.W. and Elizabeth W. Fulbright Endowed Scholarship for Study Abroad will be notified in March. Applicants selected for the general college scholarships will be notified during the fall 2024 semester.
