From One Flyer to Another

The University of Dayton is committed to providing a top-tier education that is accessible, and our private donors are vital to this commitment. As a result of their generosity, we offer additional scholarships to students which are part of the more than $230 million in financial aid awarded to students annually.

Our support is from longtime friends of the University and alumni who are eager for students to have same opportunities they experienced during their time here. And all our donors have one thing in common: their love for UD and its community. Their support and response to fundraising efforts like our annual giving day, One Day, One Dayton, makes our nationally recognized tuition transparency plan possible.

Incoming Students: Awarding Donor-Funded Scholarships

Admitted students are automatically considered for all financial aid options, including donor funded scholarships, as part of their transparent financial aid offer — no separate scholarship application is required. Scholarships are awarded based on several factors including, but not limited to, demonstrated academic success, donor-stipulated criteria and financial need based on the FAFSA, and amounts may vary.

You may see a Forever Flyer Grant as part of your total gift aid on your transparent financial aid offer. This need-based grant is funded through University funds and endowments established by donors. It is often awarded as a placeholder until you can be matched with a specific donor-funded scholarship; this typically happens in the summer before your first semester.

If you are matched with a donor-funded scholarship, you'll receive an email from the Office of Financial Aid with more information about how to log in to Academic Works (our online scholarship platform) and how to thank your donor. The donor-funded scholarship replaces the Forever Flyer Grant as part of your guaranteed net tuition.
