Scholarships

A scholarship is a monetary award given to outstanding students to foster developing talents and academic excellence, and in recognition of leadership and outstanding achievement. SDSU scholarship funds are provided by private donors, corporations, professional associations, and SDSU alumni. Some scholarships may be awarded based on financial need.

For specific SDSU scholarship requirements and applications visit the SDSU Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships Web site.  Deadlines vary and new scholarship opportunities are added to the Web site throughout the year.  Students should regularly check the Web site to learn about continuing and upcoming scholarship opportunities, application and essay writing tips, resources and links to outside scholarship opportunities, and more.
