Scholarships

Scholarships are a form of gift aid that does not need to be repaid. These awards may be offered through SFSU campus departments or outside organizations.

Tip: The Spring semester is typically the best time to begin searching and applying for scholarships for the upcoming academic year.

Find and Apply for Campus Scholarships

SFSU campus scholarship opportunities are listed in AcademicWorks. Searching and applying for scholarships is primarily a self-service process.

Receiving an Outside Scholarship

If you are awarded a scholarship from an outside organization, scholarship checks should be mailed directly to the Bursar’s Office for processing and deposit.

Processing timelines:

• Bursar’s Office processing: 3–4 weeks
• Financial Aid Office processing: 7–10 business days before scholarship disbursement
