CSU Channel Islands offers more than $500,000 in scholarships each year to outstanding undergraduate and credential students based on financial need, academic merit, or both. Scholarships are private funds that do not have to be repaid.
Scholarships can come from a variety of sources - community groups, corporate donors, or the University. Scholarships are awarded based on a variety of criteria which often reflects the values of the donor or the purpose for which the award was founded.
