Scholarships For Continuing Students

Many CSU colleges and departments offer financial support to their students through scholarships awarded each spring. In most cases, students need to complete the CSU scholarship application (CSUSA), available on line December 1st. Check your college and department website for additional information about individual scholarships.

There are several scholarships offered through the Honors Program. These are typically offered in the spring semester and are normally awarded to students in their senior year. The Honors office will send information about the application process for these scholarships to eligible students. Click on the links below to read more about each scholarship.
