Stanislaus State Scholarships

This program provides numerous on-campus scholarship opportunities for incoming and continuing undergraduate, credential, and graduate students attending the university. By completing a single general application through the online system, students are automatically matched with various available awards. Selection criteria can vary depending on the specific scholarship, with decisions based on academic performance, declared major, community service, leadership experience, or financial need. To qualify for awards that consider financial need, applicants must submit either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the California Dream Act Application by the priority deadline. Certain individual scholarships may require additional materials, such as personal essays, academic transcripts, or electronic letters of recommendation from faculty members.
