Scholarships & Aid
The Academic Scholarship is designed to recognize and reward students who have exemplified academic excellence. Institutional Scholarships are based on the availability of funds and academic performance. Institutional Scholarships are for first-time entering students (Freshman & Transfer) to the University who have not completed a bachelor’s degree program. Awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis.
There is no scholarship application; your admissions application serves as the scholarship application. To be considered for a scholarship award, you must (1) apply for admissions, (2) submit your transcript(s) and test score(s), and (3) submit your shot records to the office of admissions at UAPB. Scholarship awards are based on cumulative grade point average (4.0 scale) and composite ACT/SAT scores.
All scholarship recipients are highly encouraged to complete and submit the FAFSA and add UAPB Financial Aid Code: 001086.
Scholarship Deadline: March 1, 2025

The Federal Pell Grant is funded by the federal government and administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Students who demonstrate significant financial need according to the federal formulas can qualify for yearly Pell Grant awards of up to $6,895.
To apply for the Pell Grant, students must fill out the Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). By filling out the FAFSA, you are also applying for the Pell Grant as well as any other federal financial aids available.
All students who complete the FAFSA will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) that will note their eligibility for Pell Grant funds as well as any documents they must submit to the Financial Aid Office to confirm their eligibility for federal funds. The FAFSA website has complete instructions on completing the multi-page FAFSA form, printable worksheets and lists of the information required, as well as the online FAFSA form itself.
