Each scholarship description indicates what materials are required and the office to which the application must be submitted. The deadline for most of the campus scholarships is February 28. There are, however, a number of exceptions. Each description lists a deadline date. In the case of most scholarships and awards, recipients are selected during the spring semester and the funds will be given to recipients the following fall after proof of registration is shown.
Specific information is sent in award notification letters.
Normally scholarship and award recipients will not have their grant aid reduced. California State University, Fullerton, has established a policy which allows the Financial Aid Office to reduce the student's scheduled college work-study, national direct student loan, or guaranteed student loan by the amount of the scholarship or award instead of reducing the student's grant or gift aid. This policy will allow students to work fewer hours or to assume a smaller student loan debt obligation.
