College of Science Scholarship Opportunities
We don’t want financial roadblocks to limit your exciting future in STEM. The College of Science offers incoming undergraduate student scholarships. The College has moved to a single application for most of our undergraduate scholarships. Applications can be found through Scholarship Universe, the University's scholarship application portal.
It is recommended that all students fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year to determine what state or federal aid they may be eligible for, including work-study opportunities and grants.
Before applying for scholarships, first-year and transfer students must have an active Campus Information Services (CIS) account and a University Email account (UMail).
