BYU encourages all students, regardless of their circumstances, to
apply for scholarships. By completing the BYU Scholarship Application,
students can be considered for all possible (academic, need-based, and
private) scholarships offered by the Financial Aid Office.
Note: Departments and colleges may have different deadlines for their scholarships.
Prospective new freshmen are eligible to apply for undergraduate scholarships beginning with the term/semester they are admitted. Please note scholarship deadlines listed below. Freshmen must submit all admissions materials to the Admissions Office by the scholarship deadline in order to be considered for scholarships.
Former and Continuing Students
Former and continuing undergraduate degree-seeking students are eligible to apply for undergraduate scholarships. Former students receive consideration as continuing students.

Transfer students are not eligible for academic scholarships upon initial entrance at BYU. Transfer students can apply for academic scholarships as Continuing students after having completed at least one full enrollment (12 credit hours) at BYU by the appropriate March 1 application deadline. See the chart below.
There
are a few additional university scholarships and also departmental
scholarships for which some transfer students may receive
consideration. If you would like to be considered for these, please
complete the online scholarship application. Also, please contact your
college and department to explore other scholarship opportunities.
International Students
International students are eligible to apply for academic scholarships after completing one full enrollment (12 credits) at BYU. The deadline to submit the continuing student scholarship application is March 1. Scholarships are awarded annually.
Brigham Young University anticipates awarding approximately one-fourth of the new incoming freshmen students an academic scholarship. Multi-year full, one-year full, and half tuition awards will be determined on the basis of available funding and the qualifications of the candidates relative to one another, once the applicant pool has been finalized. We will inform students of scholarship decisions in their My Financial Center's Message Center by the notification date indicated on our website.
Continuing Student Academic Criteria
Continuing Student academic criteria are determined at the beginning of the awarding process, and therefore cannot be published in advance. Please note that the cumulative BYU GPA must meet the minimum requirements in order for a scholarship to be awarded.

Nice! I finally took out time from my TestMax Bar Exam Prep to look for universities. It was great knowing about this one. I want to be a successful lawyer one day and study in one of the finest law schools like this. I have saved all the important dates regarding admissions to this university.
