When will I be notified if I’ve received a UNG scholarship?
You will only be notified if you have been selected as a scholarship recipient, but not if you have not been selected.

Note that decision times vary based on department review times. Typically, departments begin reviewing scholarship applicants after the deadline of February 14, and you will be notified anywhere between then and the start of the fall semester. There are instances where spring/summer scholarships are offered, and would allow for notification at any point in the academic year.

How will I be notified if I’ve received a UNG scholarship?

You will be notified via your UNG email.

Can I receive more than one UNG scholarship?

Yes, we don’t limit the number of scholarships that you can receive, unless your total aid exceeds your cost of attendance.

How can I thank my scholarship donor?

If selected for a scholarship, you will be requested via email to complete a thank you message to your scholarship donor. A form will be provided to you to fill out.
