Foundation Scholarships

Students must meet certain criteria for most Foundation scholarships. A campus scholarship committee reviews the applications and determines the recipients. The amount of each scholarship is determined by the available money at the time. These scholarships are supported by donations, and the amounts available to be awarded may vary from time to time. The deadline for applying for Foundation Scholarships is April 1 each year for the following Fall and Spring semesters.

Eligibility

Eligibility for most financial aid is based on financial need. Students are expected to contribute to their own educational expenses and should not expect financial aid to provide for all living expenses. Financial aid is to be used only for education-related costs. Individuals who are truly in need of assistance will be eligible.
