Financial Aid and Scholarships

To qualify for financial aid and scholarships, students must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Specialized Scholarship Application. Refer to the Financial Aid website for more information.

Students apply annually for general scholarships by updating their Scholarship Application in the eWeber portal. 

Since scholarships are generally awarded in the spring, it is best to complete these steps by December 1st for the following academic year. 

Scholarship opportunities are proportional to the number of students who apply. In allocating scholarships, the department prioritizes students based on GPA and the completion of core general courses (year in school is not relevant). 

CSBS Scholarships

To qualify, you must fill out the FAFSA and Specialised Scholarship Application (located in your eWeber portal). Please review information on this page for more information about scholarships within the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
