Scholarships
The College of Human Sciences & Education (CHSE) awards a wide range of scholarships and fellowships each year to support undergraduate and graduate students, as well as students pursuing secondary education concentrations in the College of Humanities & Social Sciences and the College of Science. Award availability, amounts, and eligibility criteria vary according to donor intent. We encourage all eligible students to explore these opportunities and apply.
