Our Opportunities
THE APPLICATION CYCLE FOR 2025-2026 WILL OPEN NOVEMBER 1, 2024.. A new application must be completed each academic year.
ADMITTED SVSU STUDENTS (including new incoming freshmen): To be considered for donor-funded scholarships, students must complete a General Scholarship Application through this site (referred to as “General Application”) once enrolled at SVSU (an SVSU ID and password is required to Log In and is issued when students are admitted). Completing this process automatically submits your application to certain scholarships for which you may qualify, and may also suggest more scholarships (Recommended Opportunities) that require you to answer additional questions or provide more information to determine your eligibility. PLEASE NOTE that completing this process is necessary to be considered for donor-funded scholarships offered at SVSU. All students should complete a General Application each year. Opportunities exist for returning students and graduate students, too!
COMPLETE YOUR FAFSA AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE: Donor-funded scholarships based on financial need rely on the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) for your financial information to determine your eligibility for these opportunities. To maximize your opportunities for scholarships, please take the following ACTIONS: (1) Complete the FAFSA as soon as possible; (2) Return here to check your scholarship application periodically for “Other Recommended Opportunities”—these are scholarships for which you may qualify that require additional action to complete your application. Scholarship opportunities may be added to this list as your financial information is received and updated in our records.
DEADLINES MAY VARY: Please apply early for best opportunities. Freshmen are urged to complete their applications by February 1. Returning and graduate students should apply early and expect most deadlines to be on or about March 15. (Some scholarships may have earlier or extended deadlines, so complete your app early and keep an eye on those dates!) Don’t forget to check back in case new opportunities are added to your Recommended list!
SCHOLARSHIP AWARD AMOUNTS: The published award amounts on this site and status updates/amounts to individual applicants’ records are for informational purposes only and are not guaranteed. Actual scholarship awards may vary based on availability of funds, number of recipients, students’ individual financial aid circumstances, and other factors. Please always check your student financial account for final awards/award amounts.
LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: If a scholarship requires a letter of recommendation, you will have an opportunity to upload it as part of applying for that specific opportunity.
PART-TIME DEFINITION: For purposes of your donor-funded scholarship application, “Part-Time” refers to at least half-time: 6-11 credits per semester, or between 12-23 credits per academic year. (Full-time is a minimum 12 credits per semester or minimum 24 credits per academic year).
GRADUATING SENIORS: If you are unable to take the number of credits needed to maintain one or more of your donor-funded scholarships due to unavoidable circumstances (the timing of course offerings, credits needed to graduate, etc.), please consult with the Financial Aid Office.
PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS AND GUESTS: Searching using “Show Filters” or by Keywords may be helpful in browsing opportunities prior to admission to SVSU. You may click the “Show Filters” button above to filter results by academic college/special category (available options are on a drop-down selection list). If you are searching by keywords, you may enter text in the search box below. Please try both general and specific terms for the most results (i.e., if you are interested in “science” scholarships, try general terms like “science” and more targeted search words like “biology”, “engineering”, “chemistry”, etc.). You may also browse the full list below of all scholarship opportunities (availability and award amounts may vary by academic year). Becoming an admitted SVSU student and completing your scholarship application (General Application) is the best way to identify the scholarships for which you qualify.
