Like grants, scholarships are a type of financial aid that you won't have to pay back. At IUP, we help you get started by automatically considering you for our extensive list of scholarships when you apply for admission.
Scholarships are based on a variety of things. Some are designed to help
students with the greatest financial need. Some are based only on
academic scores and achievements. Some focus on specific majors or
activities such as sports. Many combine these factors.
Applying for scholarships can really pay off. Make a list of some you think are a good match for you, along with their deadlines, and get them done one-by-one.
Below, along with those offered by IUP, we've gathered a long list of outside scholarships you could apply for on your own. We also give you several scholarship search sites to explore.
