Two Step Application Process
The scholarship application has a General Application section and an Opportunities
section. After the student submits their application, the program automatically recommends
scholarships to the applicant based on answers entered on the application and/or academic
information uploaded from our campus admission and records database. If corrections
need to be made after the scholarship application has been submitted, students have
the ability to log-in and update their information as long as it's before the scholarship
deadline.
Password Protection
Before you attempt to apply for Fresno State scholarships, please make sure you have
received a Fresno State Student I.D. number and have activated your MyFresnoState account with a valid email address. All scholarship applicants will use their MyFresnoState
log-in user name and password to access the scholarship application. This allows students
use their campus credentials, as they log in and out to complete or update their scholarship
application, without having to create or remember a different password.
Security
Fresno State and the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management are committed
to providing the latest security and data encryption services for your protection.
We do not collect personal information on our web site to sell, rent, share, or otherwise
disclose to outside organizations.
Personal Statements
You will be asked to provide two narrative statement describing your activities,
awards, personal accomplishments, and career objectives. You can cut and paste your information
into the personal statements portion of the application from any word processor. Do
not use special text formatting such as bold, italic, colors, etc., as these will
not appear. Pay special attention to spelling, grammar and content as your application
will be carefully reviewed by multiple scholarship selection committees.
Scholarship Directory
When students log-in the scholarship application site, they can review the opportunities
page for a comprehensive list of hundreds of academic scholarships available to undergraduate
and graduate students at Fresno State. Since scholarships are offered by various colleges,
departments, and organizations to students who meet specific criteria, we encourage
all students to apply regardless of their accomplishments, field of study, class level,
or academic achievement.
