Depends

Should I use University at Buffalo Scholarship Portal (Academic Works)?

University at Buffalo students complete a free General Application here to unlock campus scholarships; students at other schools and businesses get nothing here. The pasted URL returned a not-found error at review time, so enter through the sign-in or opportunities pages.
