Academic scholarships for new first year students are awarded based on academic achievement, activities participation, and leadership. Few scholarships are based on financial need.
To be considered for new student SDSU academic scholarships applicants must be accepted for admission and complete the SDSU New Student Academic Scholarship Application. Students do not need to complete any other application.
Students need to complete the application since certain scholarships are awarded only to students from specific geographical areas, pursuing specific majors, and other criteria. Students are encouraged to submit their scholarship application by our Scholarship Priority Date--January 25.
Those students who were either admitted after January 25th or have not yet submitted their scholarship application are still encouraged to apply for academic scholarships. Their scholarship application will enter into consideration as soon as they are received. We will begin notifying students in late March/early April of any academic scholarship they may have received for the coming year.
You can download and then print a scholarship application below. If you have problems downloading the application, download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader at the bottom of this page.
