Scholarships
Financial Aid Toolbox
Overview
Scholarships are one of the best ways to help defray the cost of tuition and board. Different than a loan, scholarships do not need to be paid back. Students are awarded based on a βbest qualityβ rating and meet the criteria for any of ΊΪΑΟΙηβs admissions scholarships.
Scholarship applications must be submitted by their specific priority date. After the priority dates, awards will be limited, based on the availability of scholarships.
ΊΪΑΟΙη also awards institutional and federal grants, loans, and work-study opportunities to students with demonstrated financial need. Visit the Financial Aid page for details.
Scholarship & Grant Opportunities
ΊΪΑΟΙη has a number of endowments that are specifically for awarding scholarships to enrolled students.
The annual competition is open to all current and incoming students. Each scholarship has specific eligibility criteria but only one main endowed scholarships application is required for most scholarships. Amounts of each scholarship vary up to $6,200.

Late applications will only be reviewed in the event of no qualified applicant from the initial pool of applications.
There are thousands of scholarships offered by various organizations and companies that are available to college students everywhere. It is difficult to navigate through these many opportunities, so ΊΪΑΟΙη has compiled a list of them directly applicable to our students. No matter your degree program or grade level, there are scholarships available year-round.
These scholarships have been pre-selected by the Financial Aid Office as good matches for ΊΪΑΟΙη students. However, you can apply for any outside scholarship. Review eligibility requirements for each scholarship to ensure that you qualify.
Helpful Hint: Scholarships offering more money are typically more competitive. Applying for more scholarships with a smaller dollar value may increase your chances of being awarded.
