Funding Opportunities
You Belong Scholars Program
This scholarship supports undergraduate and graduate students who have been formerly incarcerated, recognizing both the structural barriers they face in pursuing higher education and the strengths they bring to our campus community. The scholarship aims to promote access, persistence, and academic success during the transition to campus life. This program also recognizes the profound impact that a loved one's incarceration can have on a student's educational pathway, financial stability, and well-being. Thus, undergraduate and graduate students who have been affected by the incarceration of a parent, sibling, partner, child, or other loved one may also apply for this scholarship. Funds may be used toward tuition, fees, books, transportation, housing, childcare, technology, emergency expenses, or other academic-related needs that support student persistence and success.
Adele M. Gottschalk Scholarship Fund
The Adele M. Gottschalk Scholarship Fund was established in 1999 by Dr. Adele M. Gottschalk to support first-year medical students at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. This scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate both high academic merit and financial need. Recipients must complete the FAFSA to demonstrate financial need and maintain strong academic performance. Recipients of these scholarship funds are designated as 'Gottschalk Scholars' and the award may be renewable beyond the first year.
Mary B. Cassata Library Studies and Information Department Fund
This scholarship fund is held by the Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo with final decisions made by their board of directors. University at Buffalo faculty make recommendations for disbursements annually based on application review. The award is designated for master's degree candidates in the UB School of Information and Library Science who maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA. Applicants must have been born in and be a citizen of the United States with domicile in New York State. Financial need is a key consideration, requiring completion of the FAFSA and a financial need essay. The scholarship supports students pursuing graduate education in library and information science with demonstrated commitment to the field through research, leadership activities, honor society membership, publications, and plans for continued study.
Judith Cardoni Scholarship Fund
The Judith Cardoni Scholarship Fund was established in 2018 by Alex A. Cardoni, BS 1966, to honor his late wife, Judith Cardoni, BS 1966. This scholarship supports PharmD students majoring in the School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. The scholarship gives preference to students demonstrating financial need. Students are automatically considered for this scholarship based on their completed General Application through the University at Buffalo Scholarship Portal.
Career Design Center Internship Support + Emergency Fund
Modeled after the UB Student Emergency Fund, the Internship Support + Emergency Fund is designed to provide limited, one-time financial support for students experiencing unexpected or exceptional financial need directly related to a current experiential learning opportunity—or one they are actively in the process of committing to. These opportunities may include, but are not limited to, internships, on-campus jobs, research assistantships, and education/study abroad. The fund is not intended to serve as income replacement for unpaid opportunities. Eligible expenses must represent clear barriers to participation and may include relocation/temporary housing, transportation, childcare, essential supplies, or emergencies that arise during the experience. Ineligible expenses include tuition and related fees, rent, car payments, and other ongoing living costs unrelated to the experiential learning opportunity. Requests must demonstrate a specific financial need directly tied to the experiential learning opportunity and be supported with documentation if necessary. Funding is awarded on a case-by-case basis and is subject to availability. Retroactive funding for expenses incurred prior to application submission and funding for past experiential learning experiences are not available.
Bugelski Fellowship Endowment Fund
The Bugelski Fellowship Endowment Fund was established in 1990 to support Psychology graduate students at the University at Buffalo. This fellowship is awarded to qualifying graduate students in the Psychology department during both fall and spring academic terms. Recipients are automatically considered based on their completed General Application through the university's scholarship portal, making the application process streamlined for eligible students.
