Applications are available each February from the Office of Financial Aid and the application deadline is April 30th. The University offers a variety of scholarships through on-campus departments. Students may contact their major department for more information on department scholarship opportunities. The Office of Financial Aid maintains a scholarship bulletin board. Our bulletin board is located on the 5th floor of Warren Hall, across from room 577.
Many private organizations charge students for individual scholarship search and match services.
With some effort, the same scholarship information can be obtained from schools, libraries and from private sources free of charge. We strongly discourage students from paying for any scholarship information. The Graduate Equity Fellowship Program seeks to increase the diversity of students completing graduate degree programs in the Cal State University system, encourages continuation towards doctoral programs and promotes consideration of university faculty careers. Fellowships are provided for economically disadvantaged students who have had success in overcoming educational disadvantages. The program also promotes faculty mentoring and research opportunities.
