Graduate Scholarships and Awards

In the fall, students will receive scholarship announcements by email from Financial Aid and the Department of CTR. Applications are submitted through Scholarship Universe with required documents.

S3 first matches applicants to eligible scholarships based on GPA, class standing, need, and other criteria. A faculty committee then reviews personal statements and résumés to select recipients whose qualifications best match each scholarship.

Deadlines and application details are available on Spartan Central.
