Welcome! Cal State Northridge is pleased to offer a wide variety of scholarships and awards to honor the academic success of our undergraduate and graduate students. Each year CSUN students are awarded more than $2 million in scholarships and awards due to academic achievement, financial need, major or extracurricular activities. Because of our generous donors we are able to offer need and merit based scholarships ranging from $250 to $5,000 per year.
New and continuing students are welcome to apply annually for any of our Institutional, Departmental and Off-Campus Scholarships. All scholarships are disbursed in two disbursements, normally at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters unless specifically noted by the scholarship donor. However, no disbursements will be made until the Scholarship Office has received funds from the scholarship donor. Scholarships are used as a resource in a student's financial aid package, and may reduce need-based financial aid awards. However, all students are encouraged to apply for as many scholarships as possible, to lessen their need for loans or part time work to attend school. During your scholarship search please note, the Scholarship Office does not endorse scholarship search services that require a student to pay a fee.
