UCO Foundation Scholarship Portal Open for 2026-27 Academic Year
Dec. 15, 2025
The University of Central Oklahoma Foundation has opened its scholarship application portal for the 2026-27 academic year, providing current and incoming students the opportunity to apply for more than 450 donor-funded awards that support academic success, student leadership and transformative learning.
Through the portal, students can complete a single streamlined application to be considered for numerous scholarships made possible by the generosity of alumni, donors and friends of the university. Awards range from need-based assistance to discipline-specific, leadership and merit-based scholarships.
The foundation’s scholarship program plays a vital role in UCO’s commitment to meeting students where they are and supporting their movement toward graduation and career readiness. Last year, the foundation awarded more than $1.4 million in scholarships to 1,198 students across all colleges, helping ease financial barriers and empower students to focus on their studies.
The application is open to continuing students and newly admitted students planning to attend UCO for the 2026-27 academic year. Students are encouraged to apply early and thoroughly review eligibility requirements for individual scholarships.
The portal is open now through Feb. 6, 2026.
To apply, students should visit scholarships.uco.edu and log in with their UCO credentials. Incoming students must be admitted to the university to be eligible to apply.
UCO is currently accepting applications for admission for fall 2026. In addition to foundation scholarships, incoming freshmen and transfer students will be automatically awarded academic scholarships, pending eligibility, upon submission of a completed online application and all required admissions documents by Feb. 1, 2026.
For more information, contact the UCO Foundation at foundation-scholarships@uco.edu.
