University of North Texas Scholarship Agreement

University of North Texas (UNT) scholarships require recipients to fulfill certain criteria while they hold the scholarship. By accepting this UNT scholarship award, you confirm that you understand all the scholarship's criteria and understand that if you fail to fulfill these requirements, you forfeit all or a portion of the scholarship and waiver (if applicable).

* You must be active in a UNT degree program and must enroll and successfully complete the minimum credit hour requirement at UNT during each fall and spring term you hold this scholarship with 5000 or 6000 level courses applicable to the degree program for which you were admitted to UNT. 
 
 * You must maintain the minimum UNT cumulative grade point average at the conclusion of each term. 

* Award funds will be applied to the payment of applicable account charges, and may be refunded to you to assist with other approved educational related expenses (i.e. books, housing, transportation, etc.) if your account is paid in full.

*If you encounter any unusual circumstances that prevent you from meeting the criteria stated above, you may request a information about the appeal process by emailing gradaward@unt.edu.*

By accepting this award, you agree to abide by the policies, rules, and regulations governing UNT. You authorize UNT to verify the information you have provided and utilize the information, including data from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as needed to assist with applicable program administration.  You further understand that recipient information may be provided to donor(s) and/or UNT department(s) funding any award received, released to high schools, and that notice of this award may be publicized in university materials. You authorize UNT to share as needed all required and requested information with applicable selection committee(s), including members of organizations or foundations overseeing donor interests (i.e. foundations, trust administrators, etc.). For students on externally funded sponsored projects, funding and selection processes are mandated/overseen by the sponsor/PI and your participation with related reporting requirements is expected. Finally, you understand that the submission of false information is grounds for rejection and/or withdrawal of any offer extended.

Please note that this scholarship may be adjusted if all scholarships (awarded by UNT or outside agencies) and other resources (federal, state and institutional financial aid) available to you exceed the current cost of attendance at UNT, or your "need" for assistance as calculated by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Competitive Scholarship Waiver

• Non-Texas residents assessed non-resident tuition receiving UNT scholarship(s) for at least $1,000 will be assessed tuition costs at the in-state rate for the fall, spring and the following summer terms. Students receiving a competitive scholarship waiver of non-resident tuition must complete Selective Service Registration, according to applicable Texas Education Code 51.9095.For more information about who must register, please visit the Selective Service System site: https://www.sss.gov/Registration-Info/Who-Registration.

• Non-Texas resident distance learners are not eligible for a competitive scholarship waiver when being charged under the Out of State Teaching Fee (OSTF) structure since non-resident charges are not present on the student account.
