The University of Bridgeport believes that a student's achievement should be recognized and rewarded. Our scholarship, grant, state and federal programs enable students who have potential and want to benefit from a high quality academic program.

Financial need is not required for scholarships, which will range from $4,000 to $10,000. Federal and state grants/loans/work-study can provide additional resources that can be combined with a scholarship to assist a student in covering tuition and living expenses.

Our institutional commitment is to make a "top level" private education affordable to all students. No matter what your family income situation might be, the University of Bridgeport features a wide range of scholarship benefits tailored to meet your academic priorities and financial need. Whether you are from a high, middle or low income family the University of Bridgeport will be surprisingly affordable. 

We give scholarships for history, political science, design, psychology, business, math, science, music, English, engineering, dental hygiene and many other academic disciplines. 

Transfer students are also eligible to receive special transfer scholarships.

Athletic scholarships are available to student athletes interested in playing Division II competition. 

Close to 96% of UB students are awarded financial aid

Priority is given to students who apply early.

To be awarded this scholarship, students must be accepted and register for full-time study at the University of Bridgeport. These scholarships are renewable annually based on satisfactory academic achievement, continued full-time enrollment and good standing in the University.

How to Qualify

All students interested in applying for financial aid are required to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which can be completed online at: www.fafsa.ed.gov. Paper FAFSAs are also available through your high school guidance office. All incoming students must have their FAFSA "date stamped" by the federal processor by April 15, in order to be given full consideration for financial aid.
