Q: I haven’t received my scholarship letter yet, is it coming soon?

  2. Aid Programs: Financial aid programs include federal, state and university grants, federal student loans, and federal student work-study.

Q: Does Butler University accept outside scholarships?

An outside scholarship is any scholarship not awarded by the government or the school, such as a scholarship provided by a private sector company, philanthropist, or foundation. We strongly encourage students to apply for as many outside scholarships as possible. Outside scholarships can quickly add up and many go unclaimed each year, so be sure to start applying for these as soon as you can. Here is a list of websites we recommend:
