The University Scholarship Office
Announcements
| Scholarships must be applied for at Charlotte through the NinerScholars Portal. The university does not use an automatic process to award scholarships solely on prior academic performance (GPA, test scores, etc.). |
| Scholarship Portal Opening: The NinerScholars Portal will open in late October for accepted and current students to apply for scholarships for the 2026-27 academic year (fall 2026/spring 2027). We will post a notice on our website beginning the day that it opens. |
| Spring Admits: Students accepted for the spring 2026 semester will need to wait until classes start on Jan. 12 to log in to apply for scholarships. Scholarships for the spring 2026 semester were already awarded. |
| Admission to the Levine Scholars Program or the Honors College cannot be applied for through NinerScholars. Students interested in being considered for the Levine Scholars Program or the Honors College must submit separate applications for each. Please note that each program has its own deadline and requirements. Visit each program’s website to learn more. |
