SCSU offers a variety of scholarship opportunities to our students including:
We encourage all students to apply for state and federal grants through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If students need additional assistance, we offer guidance on applying for private loans, but not without ensuring full comprehension of the rights and responsibilities of student borrowers. No matter how much aid our students may need, we offer loan entrance and exit counseling to help them manage their student loans.
