Scholarships and Financial Assistance

UNDERGRADUATE

Scholarships for the upcoming academic year have been awarded. Students interested in applying for scholarships for the 2014-2015 academic year are encouraged to revisit this site on December 1, 2013 for application instructions.

While some of our undergraduate scholarships are based solely on merit; others are based on leadership and financial need. We encourage everyone to complete the free application for federal student aid (FAFSA) which is required for consideration to scholarships based on financial need.  In order to be considered for need-based scholarships, your FAFSA must be processed and received by the Auburn University Office of Student Financial Aid on or before the priority deadline of March 1. Completion of the FAFSA is required each calendar year for consideration for need-based scholarship opportunities.

For additional scholarship information, please visit the Office of University Scholarships.

GRADUATE

The awarding of assistantships and fellowships for graduate students are handled through individual departments within the College of Education. Please contact your appropriate department head to inquire about graduate award opportunities.

FEDERAL TEACH GRANT

The U.S. Department of Education offers a grant opportunity specifically for students pursuing a degree in education. The program provides grant funds for post-secondary students who are completing coursework in a federally designated critical-need area of education and agree to serve for at least four years as a full-time, highly qualified teacher in a low-income school.  

Eligible students may receive up to $3,716 per year in TEACH Grant funds.  Failure to complete the service agreement will result in the grant being converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford/Ford Loan in which you must repay in full, with interest. Eligibility requirements for the TEACH Grant at Auburn University may be found online. Since this opportunity is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, we encourage you to visit the Federal Teach Grant site for more detailed information concerning this opportunity.  

Additional funding opportunities, including university scholarships, federal financial aid and on-campus work study, are outlined online by the Auburn University Office of Financial Aid.
