In order to be considered for these scholarships, you will need to complete the GSU General application within the first month of the fall semester
General Application
Students should complete the GSU General application online. This general application will match our students to any of our merit-based scholarships they qualify for. It will also match students with additional scholarships offered outside our department. New scholarship applicants are required to provide official SAT, GMAT, or other comparable test scores.
Renewal Application
Current students who previously received a merit-based scholarship from the department and wish to continue that award in the upcoming year should complete the GSU General application online and update any fields that are outdated from the previous academic year. Any renewals to previous recipients are contingent upon satisfactory academic performance and timely progress towards their degree.
