It's time for your hard work to start paying off your school bills. Both University, Foundation, and external scholarship opportunities are available in SSU Scholarship Universe. There are two types of scholarships -- direct award scholarships, and application scholarship (competitive scholarships).

For direct award scholarship, students are automatically considered for all awards for which they are eligible. Each year, your academic records will be reviewed to determine your eligibility for both merit-based and needs-based scholarships available. The minimum GPA of 2.0, and full time enrollment is required for most scholarship awards. Some scholarships have more stringent eligibility criteria (i.e. higher GPA requirement, enrollment status, classification restrictions , etc...)

For competitive scholarships, an application is required and the pool of students considered for the award is based on application submission. The competitive scholarships deadline is generally April 30th for University and Foundation Scholarships. Some individual scholarship applications have deadlines that are into the month of May. Note: Direct Award scholarships are awarded year-round as long as funding is available.

Students who are offered scholarship awards must accept the award offers prior to the communicated deadline for the award offer. Award offers that are not accepted, will be rescinded to allow for other students to receive the opportunity. All students who accept their award offers, must submit a letter of thanks within Scholarship Universe.
