Scholarships on the Web
The University maintains this list of scholarships search engines as a courtesy and does not have any involvement or responsibility in the application or awarding process.
Scholarships are a great way to help you pay for the cost of your education.
There are two categories of scholarships: merit and need. While both recognize the highest-achieving applicants, the first type is awarded entirely on the basis of merit, the other on financial need as well as merit. Private scholarships are also available from other sources.
