Scholarships

UCCI as all colleges and universities offer financial aid. Financial aid helps students and their families by covering education expenses, such as tuition and fees, books and supplies.

What are scholarships?

It’s a type of financial aid in out university.
The amount of financial aid one can receive is dependent
on a few factors:

  • Financial situation
  • Cost of tuition
  • Your academic performance
  • Your year in school and your enrolment status.

Types of Scholarships

There are two main types of scholarships that students may be eligible for: merit-based scholarships or needs-based scholarships.

Both college grants and scholarships are forms of financial aid that students are not required to pay back. Both may require that a student maintain a certain GPA to receive the money each year (if the aid is renewable), and may require an annual application.

Merit-based scholarships

Award students for outstanding credentials. They award high-achieving students who excel in academics, arts and athletics. They do not take into account a student’s financial situation.

icon

Needs-based scholarships 

Award students who have a financial need. Students qualify for needs-based scholarships based on their family’s income and financial constraints.
