College of Education Scholarships
The College of Education awards scholarships at both the departmental and college levels each year. Eligibility for individual awards is determined by the College of Education based on a student’s fall semester classification. All information submitted will be verified, and only complete applications will be considered.
Eligibility
Juniors, seniors and graduate students officially admitted to the College of Education and enrolled in coursework are eligible to apply for College of Education scholarships. Undergraduate teacher preparation majors must have passed all sections of the FTCE – General Knowledge test in order to apply.
Application Instructions
The application for College of Education scholarships is submitted through Scholarship Universe, and will be available early each fall semester.
Scholarship Universe is an online scholarship matching tool for students that makes finding and applying for both internal and external scholarships faster and easier. Internal scholarships refer to scholarships directly awarded by Florida Atlantic University, and external scholarships refer to any scholarships awarded by an outside source.
Scholarship Universe saves time with results best suited for students. Some opportunities require additional information such as reference letters or supporting documentation. Review FAU’s Scholarship Tips for best practices on applying.
International Students
The scholarships that indicate “financial need” as required in the criteria will require a FAFSA to be on file, so international students may need to consider their eligibility. International students are still encouraged to apply to merit-based scholarships that do not have a "financial need" requirement.
Recipient Selection
If selected for a scholarship, students are notified via their FAU email. Students are responsible for checking their FAU emails and meeting deadlines to respond with a "thank you" letter to the donor. Failure to follow this procedure and adhere to the deadlines will result in forfeiting the scholarship.
Only students who receive scholarships will be notified.
