Emergency Loan Program
The University established the Emergency Loan Program to assist students who are experiencing short-term financial difficulties. This program is not intended to supplement or replace any of our financial aid programs which offer long-term financial assistance. Borrowers must be regularly admitted (not Extended Ed.) students, enrolled in a minimum of four quarter units. Applications are available in the Office of Financial Aid and in the Warren Hall first floor lobby.

Foreign Student Emergency Loan Program
The University established a limited emergency loan fund to assist regularly enrolled students on F-1 visas. The maximum loan is $200 and loans must be repaid within nine months of receipt or by the date of graduation, whichever occurs first. Applications are available in the Office of Financial Aid.

Department Administered Scholarships
The University offers a variety of scholarships through on-campus departments. Students may contact their major department for more information on department scholarship opportunities.

Off-Campus Scholarships

We strongly discourage students from paying for any scholarship information.
