University of Houston Academic Excellence Scholarship

About this scholarship

The University of Houston Academic Excellence Scholarship is one of the academically competitive scholarships listed for international undergraduate students. UH's official international undergraduate scholarship flyer states that international undergraduate students can be considered for these awards by completing the application for admission and submitting all supporting documentation, including application, application fee, official transcripts, test scores, and other required materials, by the deadline. The Academic Excellence Scholarship has a November 1 application deadline prior to the academic year and is valued at up to $7,000 per year, renewable up to four years. It is partial funding because it does not cover full tuition, fees, housing, meals, health insurance, books, travel, or personal expenses. The scholarship is marked as in-state tuition eligible and for fall-start freshman students in the UH flyer. International freshman applicants apply through UH international admissions, submit academic records, meet English-language requirements, and complete documentation for immigration processing after admission. Scholarship conditions apply and students should review their official award terms.
