The University of Houston College of Optometry (UHCO) has numerous scholarship opportunities made possible by our donors, corporate partners and friends of the College. These scholarships provide financial relief for students who are in good academic standing, not on probation and/or on a special schedule. Out-of-State recipients who receive competitive endowment awards in the amount of $1,000 may have the non-resident fees waived as per University policy.
Award recipients are selected by the College of Optometry Scholarship Committee as appointed by the Dean of the College. Recipients are determined on the basis of academic merit and other specific criteria designated by the donor as outlined in the University approved endowment agreement. Unless otherwise noted GPA requirements are competitive. The Dean of the College has final approval of all awards.
To be considered for a scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:
Students who fail to meet these criteria will not be considered for an award. Award recipients are required to provide a written note to the donor(s) acknowledging the receipt of an award. This will be coordinated within the Office of Optometry Relations.
