Student Scholarships

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. - Eleanor Roosevelt

Thanks to the generous contributions of our alumni, the CSP program provides annual (non-renewable) scholarships for current graduate students enrolled in the major. If you are a CSP student, we strongly encourage you to apply for these exclusive funding opportunities, as we want to help you reduce your higher education costs. Eligible students can submit their applications each spring semester, with scholarships being awarded in mid to late April.
