Scholarships
California State University, Chico provides merit and scholarship awards to deserving students for graduate studies and many go unfilled. Each year the number and size of these awards vary according to annual endowment earnings, contributions to scholarship funds, and applicant qualifications.

The Scholarship Office receives applications and forwards them to the appropriate scholarship committees for review, according to criteria and requirements specified for each scholarship, such as scholastic ability, financial need, leadership, interest in a chosen major or career, area of permanent residence, class level, letters of recommendation, auditions, and special application materials.
