Understanding Endowed Scholarships
Below is a sample of available College of Education endowed scholarships. This website provides a general overview to give prospective students an idea of what scholarships may be potentially available.
ScholarshipUniverse is the most reliable and up-to-date source for scholarship information and should be the primary resource for accepted or enrolled students. It only displays scholarships for which you meet the eligibility requirements and will automatically match you with scholarships you qualify to apply for. The presence of a scholarship on this webpage does not guarantee your eligibility. If a scholarship listed below does not appear in your ScholarshipUniverse account, it indicates that you do not meet one or more of its eligibility criteria or an application is not open at this time. Please note that many endowed scholarships require you to complete the FAFSA/WAFSA.
Endowed scholarships are privately funded scholarships established by donors, often with specific eligibility criteria such as academic merit, career focus and/or financial need. These scholarships are separate from Graduate Admissions Scholarships, which are awarded at the time of admission based on the strength of your application and your potential contributions to your program.
