Important Notes

  • JSOM undergraduate departmental and donor scholarships DO NOT confer eligibility for the competitive scholarship in-state tuition waiver.
  • Current students must apply for competitively awarded scholarships through our Scholarship Application Portal.
  • This is a two-step application. Students MUST complete both sections of the application to be eligible for Jindal School scholarships. The two sections may be completed at different times, but BOTH sections must be completed no later than May 1.
  • Students who fully answer all questions and all essay questions in the second part of the application improve the likelihood they will be considered for a Jindal School scholarship award. It is suggested students allow about one hour to thoughtfully complete both sections of the scholarship application.
  • Students may seek scholarships from multiple organizations at the same time, including The University of Texas at Dallas, industry and trade groups and civic organizations. This application portal is to apply for only Jindal School donor scholarships. Receiving a scholarship from one of these other sources will not impact any scholarship awarded by Jindal School.
  • Jindal School students submit one common application to be considered for all Jindal School scholarships, most of which are on the Student Scholarships website.
  • Jindal School students will receive no more than one Jindal School donor scholarship per award cycle.
  • Scholarships are not transferable and not deferrable. If a recipient defers enrollment, the scholarship will be canceled.
  • The decisions for current students’ scholarships will be announced by late August.
  • Students may check the scholarship application status at any time via the Scholarship Application Portal.
