College-level scholarships

There are a number of scholarships offered by the College of Science itself. You can read about each one below or apply to all of them with our online application.

Our departments also offer department-level scholarships. These are separate from the college-level scholarships and have their own application forms. Find out how to apply to these scholarships by department.
