New Scholarship Opportunities! |
The little voice in your head that whispers, “What am I doing?” wants you to think you’re alone – but you’re not. Everyone wrestles with “what-ifs,” “I-don’t-knows” and wondering what they’re capable of. The university you choose and the people you surround yourself with matter.
UCM is where you’ll develop your passions and learn how to make a career out of them. Imagine getting paid for doing what you love. That’s the ultimate goal, right? It’ll be hard work, but the possibilities are here. So is your support team of mentors, advisors, counselors, classmates, friends and professors. We’re all here to guide you, challenge you and cheer you on. It’s this sense of connection, discovery and purpose that gives your little voice a new confidence, knowing that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
It’s time to answer, “What am I doing?” with, “I’m redefining what’s possible.”
Affordable Possibilities
Plain and simple – higher education should be accessible. Shop around, and you’ll find that UCM keeps its costs within reach by providing lower-than-average tuition. Use our Scholarship Finder to match with hundreds of scholarships and grants so you can graduate with less debt.
Announcing our updated Red and Black Scholarship! Beginning Fall 2026, more students will qualify for more money. The scholarship is based on your GPA, awarded automatically to eligible freshmen and renewable for up to eight semesters. We’ve also added an ACT Excellence Scholarship and an Out-of-State Visit Award. Find out how much you could earn!
How do we say this?
It’s hard to put a feeling into words, but when you get here, you’ll get it. We’re talking about that “my professors know my first name” feeling. That “I finally feel understood” feeling. That “I see a clear path to my future” feeling. It’s different for every person, but it comes from the resources, opportunities and attitudes you’ll find across campus.
FILE YOUR FAFSA
Filing your FAFSA every year is one of the most important things you can do to get money for college! It’s your key to unlocking scholarships, grants and even work-study funding.
