The UT Scouting Award Scholarship is open to deserving students attending The University of Texas at Austin who hold a Boy Scouts of America Eagle Award or Venturing Silver Award. In cases where more than one student applies, financial need is considered, with preference given to qualifying students with the greatest need. There are different application deadlines for incoming freshmen and current UT undergraduates. Current UT undergraduates and incoming external transfer undergraduates can apply through the OSFA Continuing & Transfer Student Scholarship Application, available from November through mid-March each year. Incoming first-time-in-college students can apply through the Scholarship Interest form, available from August 1 through December 1 each year.
