First Year Students:
First year students who are admitted to the University prior to scholarship deadlines will be considered for all scholarships for which they meet the minimum requirements. These competitive scholarships, awarded through the Office of Admissions, will not require an additional application. Scholarships are merit based, factoring into consideration a student’s academic record (high school rank, GPA, and curriculum) and standardized test scores (ACT or SAT).
To be eligible, students must earn traditional admission into the University and have official ACT or SAT scores on file with the Office of Admissions prior to the following deadlines:
- Fall Semester Enrollment: Apply for admission prior to December 15
- Spring Semester Enrollment: Apply for admission prior to October 15
While the majority of St. Cloud State scholarships are awarded based on a student’s application for admission, a number of awards require additional paperwork. Students have the opportunity to apply for scholarships which request specific criteria of the recipient. Students must carefully follow all instructions to be considered for the scholarships and submit a completed application prior to January 25 for full consideration. Please read the award descriptions carefully to determine your eligibility. Details and applications can be found online at: www.stcloudstate.edu/scsu4u/financing/first-year.asp
For additional information and an application, please contact the Office of Admissions at: scsu4u@stcloudstate.edu or toll-free at: (877) 654-7278.
