Students who have financial need should submit confidential financial statements to the University. If you haven't filled out the Federal Student Financial Assistance Programs' financial aid forms, you can do it here . Some of these scholarships are based in part on financial need or minority status. Occasionally there is extra money available which was not awarded due to awardees not taking it, etc. This money is available for others who are eligible.
Most scholarships are merit based, while some are needs based.
