Scholarships

Slippery Rock University (SRU) offers a variety of student scholarships based on factors such as academic merit, athletic performance, leadership, community involvement, and financial need. Scholarships provide funding that does not have to be repaid, making your degree more affordable. Some SRU scholarships involve an application process, while others are awarded based upon admission materials, FAFSA or SRU academic records.

Details regarding various scholarships can be found by reviewing each section listed on the left side of this page (cell phone users should click the plus at the bottom of the page).

In addition, outside foundations also offer scholarship opportunities for students attending an institution of higher education. Some outside opportunities are listed under the Outside Scholarship and Students with Disabilities listed on the left side of this page.

Our scholarship lists are updated on a regular basis, so the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships encourages SRU students to check these pages regularly for new scholarships.

International Students: Scholarships specifically for international students are listed under the Global Engagement Office Scholarship page.
