Undergraduate Scholarships

Scholarships can cover as much as 50% of your tuition. No need to fill out a separate application to apply.

Your previous academic achievement is used to determine eligibility for many scholarships, while for others, financial need is considered. Transfer students are also eligible for scholarships and if you are in a combined degree program you can keep your undergraduate scholarship for all five years.
