- New first-year, transfer and graduate students must be accepted and activate their NinerNET account.
- If you have not activated your NinerNET account, undergraduate students can locate their NinerNET username on their acceptance letter, and click here to activate it.
- Graduate students can locate their NinerNET username in the third paragraph of their acceptance letter, and click here to activate it.
- If you already activated your NinerNET account, but forgot your username or password, request it here.
- Please note that it typically takes approximately 24 hours from the time a student sets up their NinerNET account until the time they can log into NinerScholars.
- After logging in, you will create your scholarship profile, get matched with scholarships you may be eligible to apply for, select those you want to apply to, and submit all required materials.
- If you are planning on completing the FAFSA, please respond “Yes” to the related FAFSA question in your portal. This will allow you to be matched with need-based scholarships and apply for them.
