Will my Scholarship Cover Health Insurance?

Scholarship does not cover optional fees. Students who do not opt out will be responsible for this charge. Students who have their own coverage may request a waiver by the published deadline by visiting, www.firststudent.com.

DCUP Scholarship Awarded During the Summer Semester?

No, scholarship funds are awarded during the fall/spring semester only. Eligible students are encouraged to explore Federal Student Aid options to fund summer classes. To learn more, please call (202) 274-5157 or email finaid@udc.edu.

When will my scholarship disburse?

All aid including scholarships began to disburse the business days after attendance is verified. You may find the date for each semester by visiting, https://www.udc.edu/admissions/financial-aid/.

I am a presidential level scholarship recipient and my lab fees were not covered by my scholarship. What should I do?

Unfortunately, at the time of scholarship awarding occurs it is not always known what classes have associated lab fees. This may be quickly remedied by emailing the Office of Financial Aid at finaid@udc.edu.

Will my housing allowance cover my housing bill in full?

Housing allowances are currently $6,000 for the academic year ($3,000-Fall & $3,000 Spring) and do not cover housing in full. Students are encouraged to explore Federal (www.fafsa.gov) or external scholarship opportunities (www.wirescholar.com ; www.fastweb.com and https://www.tmcf.org/students-alumni/scholarships/closed-scholarships/

), or the payment plan https://mycollegepaymentplan.com/udc/ to offset the difference.

I did not utilize my housing allowance during my initial semester of entry. Can I use it in a later semester?

Housing allowances not utilized during the first semester of attendance will be fortified. The only exception may be in cases in which the student applied for housing by the published deadline, www.udc.edu/housing/ and housing was at capacity which resulted in the student being placed on the waitlist. The Director of Housing will need to provide written confirmation to the Office of Financial Aid at finaid@udc.edu. Note: due to limited funding, reinstatement of allowance is not guaranteed.

My UDC GPA is Higher Than High School GPA. Will my scholarship be adjusted?

No, scholarship amounts are determined based on the student’s high school transcript. However, students are encouraged to explore both internal and external scholarship opportunities. Below are viable and limited recommendations. Students are encouraged to explore outside of the listings below as well.

University Foundation: https://www.udc.edu/enrollment-management/scholarships/

External Scholarships: www.wirescholar.com ; www.fastweb.com and https://www.tmcf.org/students-alumni/scholarships/closed-scholarships/

What do I have to Maintain my Scholarship Eligibility?

Maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and enroll full time (12 or more credits) during the fall and spring semesters. Students who fail to achieve a cumulative 3.0 GPA by the end of their fourth semester and through graduation will lose eligibility.
