Scholarships: How to Apply

The College of Applied Human Sciences scholarship endowment funds total almost $4 million, thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends. More than 100 scholarships are awarded annually to recognize outstanding academic achievement. Scholarships range in value from three hundred to several thousand dollars.

The process for applying for scholarships is university-wide and involves filling out just one application to be eligible for various scholarships. You must be a full-time undergraduate or graduate student in one of the Departments or Schools in the College of Applied Human Sciences, or a teacher licensure student to be eligible. The process opens January 1 each year, and applications are due March 1, for scholarships for the following academic year. You may access information about and apply for Applied Human Sciences and University wide scholarships at the Colorado State University Student Financial website.

A committee comprised of faculty members from the College makes the selections.

Keep in mind however, that you may be eligible for some scholarships even if you do not currently receive financial assistance, or have a GPA lower than 3.0.
