Thank you for your interest in completing the Office of Student Financial Assistance Scholarship application for first-time freshman. The Scholarship application is now closed.
All submitted application information has been released to the colleges and scholarship committees for review. As recipients are selected, the Office of Student Financial Assistance along with the colleges/scholarship committees will be notifying students of any scholarship offers.
Scholarships offers will be made on a rolling basis as decisions are being made by the individual colleges/scholarship committees. We hope to have all scholarships offers extended by the end of spring semester (approximately mid May).
