Once you have applied, you will automatically be considered for academic, need-based, and other scholarships.

  • To be eligible, undergraduate students must be admitted to a McKay School program or majoring in a teacher education program.
  • Pre-majors are encouraged to apply but are ineligible unless accepted into a teaching program or McKay School major by time the awards are made.
  • Recipients must be enrolled in 12 or more credit hours to qualify for the McKay School Scholarships and the TH Bell Scholarship.

Scholarships are awarded for fall/winter only.


Please contact (801) 422-6144 or msescholarships@byu.edu for any issue with the application.

The FAFSA is used to determine your eligibility for federal aid.
If you are a dependent, you will need your parents' information and their signature before submitting the FAFSA.
If you are independent, you are not required to include parental information; however, you will need to include parental information if you wish to be considered for need-based scholarships as part of the scholarship application.

Some of the items you will need in order to submit the FAFSA:

  • Your FAFSA ID
  • Your Social Security number
  • Your driver's license number
  • Records of your assets
  • Records of your untaxed income
  • The appropriate year's tax records
