California University of PA Scholarships
California University of Pennsylvania is fortunate to offer scholarships that have been so generously provided by many alumni and friends of our university. Most of our scholarships require no separate application.
Our scholarship donors establish criteria for their awards and based on those criteria, we select the most deserving recipient. Criteria typically include such things as Undergraduate Students, Grade Point Average, SAT/ACT score, financial need, certain academic majors, etc.
In most cases you must also:
- Be registered for at least 12 credit hours for each semester during the academic year for which you receive a scholarship
- Make Satisfactory Academic Progress (not on financial aid suspension) as defined by the Financial Aid Office.
Review of these applications will begin in early Spring of each year with most awards being made by May 1.
- All incoming students wishing to be considered for scholarships MUST have applied and been accepted to the University by March 15.
- All students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after January 1 each year, but no later than March 15, in order to ensure full consideration.
The listing below represents those awards that are either made by the Financial Aid Office or another department on campus that require no additional application or involvement from the student.
