Scholarships are available to Fulbright College students through university, college, department, and external sources. Students are encouraged to explore these funding sources that provide pathways to new experiences at the university and abroad.

Every student possesses unique talents, aspirations, and potential for success. Scholarships are not just reserved for a select few and aren't solely based on grades or financial need. Instead, we believe scholarships are an investment in individuals with the determination to make a positive impact. We encourage all students to apply.
