Scholarships & Financial Aid

Helping you pay for school and other learning opportunities

The College of Human Sciences and its programs offer approximately $800,000 in scholarships each year. When you complete the online CHS application, the college works to match you to the correct scholarship based on the criteria of each of the 100+ scholarship funds.

Submitting a complete CHS scholarship application and any additional materials it recommends automatically ensures you will be considered for department- or school-level scholarships. You may also consider applying for university-level scholarships and external scholarships.
