Scholarships for Current Students

Each year, the College awards approximately $200,000 in scholarships to current undergraduate students pursuing a degree in CBA. While academic standing plays a large part in awarding scholarships, other factors, such as financial need, major, membership in student organizations within the College, etc., are also used to determine recipients.

Successful alumni have established most of the scholarships offered by the College of Business Administration. Many times the criteria for a scholarship require the recipient to be pursuing a particular major. For example, several Big Six accounting firms, as well as accounting alumni, have created a number of scholarships for students pursuing a career in accounting. Many times receiving a scholarship also opens doors in terms of internships or employment opportunities following graduation.

Upon completion of 12 credit hours as a student in the College of Business Administration (CBA), you may apply for these scholarships. Applications are due March 1st each year, with distribution of scholarships taking place the next fall and spring semesters.

In addition to general scholarships offered by the College several businesses and professional organizations award scholarships each year to College of Business Administration students. Most of these scholarships range between $500 and $2,500 per year. Announcements for these scholarships are made periodically throughout the year, with applications available through the Dean's Office for Undergraduate Programs.

These scholarships have allowed me to commit more time to my studies, as well as the organizations to which I belong, with the long-term benefit being greater job opportunities after I graduate."
