Current Students

Scholarships for students continuing study in the College of Natural Resources are typically based on merit (GPA, SAT/ACT scores), financial need or a combination of both. Most scholarships for continuing students are offered by individual programs within the college and may be based on factors such as academic major or future career plans. Some individual program scholarships require you to submit supporting documentation, such as a resume and statement of career interests. In addition, you must annually submit an up-to-date FAFSA form with the university to be eligible for scholarships requiring proof of financial need.

Special Application Scholarships

Two continuing student scholarships are offered through the College of Natural Resources Dean’s Office for which continuing students must apply for consideration.
