APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS CSU Stanislaus administers
approximately 150 scholarships to incoming and continuing students, undergraduate and graduate students.
Eligibility for scholarships can be based on a variety of criteria such as academic merit, financial need, college major as well as community service.

Minimum GPA of 3.00 is required unless otherwise noted within individual scholarship criteria.
APPLICATION PROCESS CSU Stanislaus uses an electronic
scholarship application to help students search and apply for scholarships with one application.
The CSU Stanislaus online scholarship system automatically filters the correct scholarships to students who meet the basic criteria of the individual award. Students can then review the information for each scholarship and submit their application for each scholarship.
The CSU Stanislaus online scholarship application can be accessed at: https://csustan.academicworks.com Detailed information on how to use online scholarship application can be found at: https://www.csustan.edu/financial-aid-scholarships/scholarship-information
Completing the online scholarship application process: In addition to the online application,
applicants may need to turn in additional documentation as follows:
Letters of Recommendation Must be submitted if required by
the individual scholarship you are applying for.
Letters from teachers/faculty members need to be from the school you are currently attending or last attended.
Recommendation letters may be requested electronically by submitting the recommenders name and email address through the online scholarship application system. You may also submit your recommendation letters to the Financial Aid Office.

Ineligibility for Federal and/or State aid does not necessarily disqualify applicants for non-need-based scholarships.

2018, we will begin the review process for all CSU Stanislaus scholarships. We will begin sending e-mail award notifications to students in June and will continue through the summer.
