Scholarships
Each year, more than 1,200 undergraduate and graduate students benefit from university scholarships totaling approximately $3 million. Typical scholarship awards range in value from $100 to $5,000 in academic year support and include both merit- and need-based opportunities. Each award is made possible by our generous donors who understand the value a scholarship represents in making college affordable and equipping students to achieve their goals.
Students who may benefit from need-based scholarships should also consider completing the Free Application for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) since data from the FAFSA is used to verify eligibility for need-based financial scholarships.
State Scholarships
CSU participates in Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship, Zell Miller Scholarship, and HOPE Grant programs. To determine your eligibility, complete either the FAFSA or the Georgia Student Finance Application (GSFAPP).
To complete the GSFAPP, visit GAfutures.org | Georgia Student Finance Commission.
