CECH Scholarships

Each year the college awards scholarships to deserving students in all programs. The college awards two basic types of scholarships: merit-based and need-based.

Merit scholarships are awarded to full-time undergraduate students in the college who have demonstrated academic achievement.

Need-based scholarships are available to all students in degree programs in the college who qualify. Applicants seeking need-based support must have a financial aid application on file in the University Financial Aid office and be full-time undergraduate students in good academic standing.

The availability of funds for both types of scholarships is limited and award decisions are competitive. The scholarships available through the college are listed below. For additional information concerning scholarships, contact:
