The University Scholarship Program requires one application to be considered for the more than 300 scholarships available. Merit scholarships are available on a very limited basis. Students entering CSUN and students continuing at CSUN who meet the minimum eligibility criteria may apply for scholarships. Foreign students must have established an academic record in the United States before applying for University Scholarships.
Most scholarships require full-time enrollment during the year of the award.
Scholarships are awarded on a two-semester basis, one half of the award for each semester. Students who attend only one semester will receive only one-half of their awards. Awards may be canceled entirely if recipients do not plan to attend both semesters, or enroll less than the required number of units. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis and meeting the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee an award. Awards are based on grade point average, number and level of classes taken per semester and overall, school and community involvement, leadership experience, goals and progress towards those goals, past achievements, and potential for future success.
