SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN NOW!

CSAR has over 25 scholarship opportunities available to a wide range of students. Applications for these scholarship awards are open NOW thru February 28 on ScholarshipUniverse. Students are encouraged to read about our opportunities here to discover what they're eligible for before applying!

HOT TIP: Most departments on campus that administer scholarships utilize an application cycle that begins 1-2 semesters BEFORE the awards are posted. This means students should be looking for scholarships 6-8 months before they need the funds. The vast majority of CSAR's scholarships are 1-year awards, which means they will be posted to the fall and spring semesters of the following academic year. This means that we open our scholarship applications in December of the fall BEFORE the awards are posted. Be proactive!

Basic timeline:

  • December 1st - applications open
  • February 28th or 29th - applications close
  • March - application review begins
  • May - offers sent to students
  • July - awards are posted
  • August - CSAR scholars orientation
