CAFES Scholarships

University Scholarships

Scholarships are awarded on university, college and departmental levels. Because of our generous donors, the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences awards around $230,000 annually. When combined with the departments within the college, we offer well over a half-million dollars in scholarships to our students.

Returning students apply for scholarships by logging on to MyState. Click on the Dashboard tab and then the scholarship application section on the right side. All current students, whether eligible for the Jackrabbit Guarantee program or not, should submit this application before the Feb. 1 priority date to be eligible for scholarships the following school year.

Incoming students should complete the SDSU Academic Scholarship Application Form the year prior to enrollment. Priority is given to applications received by Dec. 1. To apply for these scholarships, students complete the Scholarship Application Form.
