Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards
Students will be notified in the fall semester of scholarships through emails from Financial Aid and the Dept of CTR. To apply for scholarships, students must submit information and supporting application documents in the Scholarship Universe.
When applying for these scholarships, students will at first be matched up by Scholarship Universe to all scholarships for which they qualify based on GPA, class standing, need, etc. Then, in order to choose an awardee for each scholarship, a faculty committee will review personal statements and resumes, and select a student based on qualifications and accomplishments that best fit scholarship descriptions (see below for descriptions).
Info on deadlines and applying for scholarships can be found on Spartan Central.
