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.). |
| The NinerScholars Portal opens each year in late October. We will post a notice on this page beginning the day the portal opens. Newly admitted students who will begin classes in the fall 2025 semester, and continuing students are eligible to apply for scholarships that, if awarded, will be credited to the student’s account for the 2025-26 academic year. After logging in, you’ll receive a customized list of scholarships that you may be eligible to apply for. Criteria, required materials, and deadlines will be clearly listed for each scholarship. |
| Students admitted for spring 2025 will need to wait until classes start on January 13th to log into the NinerScholars Portal. Scholarships for spring 2025 have already been awarded. Scholarships being applied for in the current cycle, if awarded, will be credited to the student’s account for the 2025-26 academic year (fall 2025, spring 2026). |
| 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. |
