Private Scholarships

This page is meant to provide students with possible resources for outside, private scholarships. These scholarships are not managed or awarded by UIS. This page is a resource only, and it is not an all-inclusive list by any means.

An easy way to learn about other scholarships, their criteria, and their deadline dates is to complete an online search.  In completing this search, please be aware of the information you disclose and that scholarship information and offers are legitimate.  Remember that you should not have to pay to find scholarships or other types of aid. 

Other resources that you could utilize in finding scholarships are as follows:

  • The U.S Department of Labor free scholarship tool Scholarship Finder | CareerOneStop 
  • Foundations, religious or community organizations, local businesses, or civic groups
  • Professional associations related to your field of interest.
  • Ethnicity-based organizations
  • Your employer
