You should seek out scholarships available through your high school, your employer, community organizations, professional organizations, church, your parents' employer, employee unions and associations, and veterans' groups. In order to help you find SCSU scholarships for which you may qualify, we have developed a searchable scholarship database on-line. General information about your academic background and interests is used to generate a list of scholarships that match your profile. There are also scholarship search services available on the Internet.
