JHS students interested in UCO: Automatic Scholarships: A very exciting addition to our Incoming Freshman Scholarships! The UCO application is a joint application, meaning students are applying for both admission AND UCO scholarships upon completion. The formula at the top of our scholarship guide (attached below) helps them view their eligibility for our automatic academic scholarships before even enrolling! Our application deadline is February 3rd, meaning we require the application completed, ACT/SAT official scores and an official High School transcript. Just a reminder, we do not accept transcripts sent via email so please use an official electronic transcript exchange service such as Xap, Parchment, etc. We also accept sealed transcripts via mail or you can send them with your students during their college visits.
