Scholarships for CAFLS Students
There are many scholarships available for undergraduate students within the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences. The majority are administered centrally by the Office of Student Financial Aid. Visit the CAFLS Departmental Scholarships page to learn about scholarships administered by one of the College's five academic departments.
There are several scholarships administered by the College. These scholarships are competitive and awarded following a review of eligible students. Students are reviewed for these scholarships based on established eligibility criteria and student credentials at the time of review and are nonnegotiable.
Students can submit a Scholarship Interest Form to signal their interest in being specially considered for a scholarship. CAFLS staff and faculty can also submit this form in nomination of a student to be specially considered.
Scholarships are made possible by the generous support of our Alumni and Friends.
