Other than the Honors College, is there a separate application for scholarships?

I didn’t see one anywhere. Do they automatically consider applicants for other scholarships?

Agree that this was a little hard to find, but it’s under Scholarship FAQs:
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions awards scholarships to first-time, first-year freshman applicants. If you complete the application for admissions by December 1, 2017 and submit all required credentials by February 1, 2018, you will automatically be considered for many of our merit-based scholarships.

Your honor application is your application for top scholarships - McNair, Carolina, Hamilton and Horseshoe and Stamps. All others are based on your general application other than a few departmental scholarships that are mostly for upperclassmen. Leiber is automatic scholarship for National merit finalists.

Thanks for the responses @scmom12 and @LuckyCharms913 - I don’t see that posted anywhere including under FAQ. :frowning: So for Flinn, Woodrow, and Sims, they just use the general application?

Yes. Since based on scholarships you are asking about you are OOS, follow link to page for non-resident scholarships that will give you an idea about stats and scores needed for various scholarships.

Thanks but I’m not concerned with stats needed. I know S18 has those. We were specifically asking if there was a separate application?

That page is where FAQs mention that you are automatically considered based on application for “many” of scholarships (as noted above) - since “many” is not very specific, reading about OOS scholarships tells you which ones require additional honors application. Might be helpful information for others with same question.

If you qualify, they send you the email for the Honors College app. You have to be in the Honors College to be eligible for Top Scholars…same app.

Well he got in today, and they offered him scholarship money! He won’t hear from the rest of his schools until mid January or later, so it is nice to have this one in his pocket.
