UC offers two merit-based scholarship award opportunities – UC Global Scholarship and International Outreach Scholarship. There is no separate application process for this as all completed applications are considered for these scholarships. Students are notified if they qualify for a scholarship at the time of their admission. For students applying to Uptown Campus, the average combined scholarship amount awarded is USD 8,000 per academic year, which they can avail up to four academic years (USD 32,000). A first-year (freshman) can renew the scholarships up to eight academic semesters. A transfer student can renew it up to four or six academic semesters (as per programme duration). To be considered for these scholarships, a student needs to fulfill the following eligibility criteria and test score requirements:
