The California State University Foundation is now announcing dozens of endowed scholarships available to students for the 2007-08 academic year. Through the CSU Office of the Chancellor, there is more than $350,000 in funds accessible to students who will be attending the university's 23 campuses throughout California.
Cal Poly Pomona students may submit their scholarship applications to the university's financial aid office as early as March.
“Private funds donated by individuals and organizations have created these scholarships, which have helped in the education of thousands of students at CSU over the years,” said Lori Redfearn, CSU's assistant vice chancellor of advancement services. “Students should seek the advice and guidance of their financial aid representatives to reap the rewards offered by these generous contributions.”
In most cases, systemwide scholarships require that students maintain full-time status during the academic year in which the award is received. Eligibility is re-verified each semester/quarter during the scholarship award period.
Applicants who have not previously received a systemwide scholarship will be given priority over equally qualified applicants. Those under consideration for more than one scholarship during the same year will be considered first for the scholarship of greatest value.
The 2007-08 academic scholarships now being announced are:
- The Dale M. Schoettler Scholarship for Visually Impaired Students - Forty-six $5,500 scholarships are available for visually impaired students, as verified by physicians at CSU campuses.
- The William Randolph Hearst/CSU Trustees Award For Outstanding Achievement – One scholarship of $6,000 and twenty-two $3,000 scholarships are available for students who have overcome adversity, demonstrated financial need, and have attributes of merit including superior academic performance, exemplary community service, and significant personal achievements. Campus presidents nominate one scholarship recipient per campus.
