Outside Scholarships

Many agencies, employers, military and service organizations award funds to students. Receipt of these external awards may result in a reduction of your financial aid from UTRGV. Therefore, if you are a financial aid recipient, you must notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships you are awarded from sources other than UTRGV. To the extent possible, we will adjust loan awards before reducing grants.

It is also the student’s responsibility to notify the Scholarship Office of any special instructions or billing information regarding external scholarships. All checks for these awards should be made payable to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and sent to either of our locations:

No credit will be entered on your account before the check arrives. It is URGV’s policy to equally divide external scholarships between fall and spring.
