SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS

Athletic Scholarships 

University of Arizona Adaptive Athletics actively recruits top athletes from around the U.S. and abroad. To recruit and retain our most promising student athletes, we must be able to offer scholarships that are competitive compared to other universities. 

Students interested in receiving an Athletic Scholarship Award (ASA) must visit campus, and provide an athletic resume, as well as a list of references. Recipients are selected based on the information provided and the coaching staff's assessment of their athletic abilities. In order to receive an ASA, students must be admitted to UA and complete the admissions application process through the Admissions Office. 

In order to remain eligible for the scholarship, recipients must meet the following criteria throughout the duration of their enrollment at the University: 

  • Maintain a minimum Cumulative GPA of 2.5.
  • Fully meet the expectation and obligations of their primary sport set by their head coach.
  • Participate in the program development efforts. 

Additional Scholarship Opportunities

  • The Craig H. Neilsen Foundation Scholarship provides scholarships to create and maintain opportunities for students with spinal cord injury to pursue higher education. To reduce socioeconomic barriers to success, these scholarships cover tuition and fees for undergraduate or graduate studies and include supplemental financial support. Eligible prospective and current University of Arizona students are welcome to apply for the Neilsen Scholarship.
