Dates and Deadlines
Welcome
To ensure maximum consideration, it is imperative students are knowledgeable of the specific deadlines associated with all scholarships awarded. Scholarships will be awarded to first-year students November to early March and to transfer and current students in early March. Students selected to receive a scholarship will be notified by email to their Auburn email account. First-year students awarded a competitive merit scholarship will also receive notification by postal mail to their permanent address.

** The FAFSA is the only form a student is required to complete to be considered for student assistance from any of the Title IV, HEA programs except for information needed to ensure the student’s eligibility for such assistance (e.g., information needed to complete verification or to demonstrate compliance with the student eligibility provisions of the HEA and the regulations). Additional information, if requested, will be listed on the student’s AU Access My Finances page after we receive the results of the FAFSA. For additional information, visit the Office of Financial Aid.
