Application Process
Campus-Based Scholarships are available to new, continuing, and conditionally admitted students who will be enrolled at California State University, San Bernardino or the Palm Desert Campus and who have been issued a valid Coyote ID. International students and DREAMers are encouraged to apply.
For the 2026–2027 academic year, CSUSB will offer two separate Campus-Based Scholarship applications. All eligible applicants with a Coyote ID may apply for consideration for both applications, regardless of academic level. Applications are accessed through the MyCoyote student portal and must be submitted electronically by the published deadline.
In addition to completing the online application(s), applicants must request at least one electronic reference from a current or former instructor or other eligible reference. References are submitted directly by the recommender through the application system and must be completed by the stated deadline.
Submitting an application allows students to be considered for scholarships for which they meet the eligibility criteria; however, submission of an application does not guarantee selection or award of a scholarship.
Review, Awarding and Notification Process
Campus-Based Scholarship applications are reviewed by scholarship selection committees in accordance with established eligibility criteria and donor guidelines.
Scholarships are typically awarded prior to the start of the Fall semester for the applicable academic year. Students who are selected to receive a scholarship will be notified through their CSUSB Coyote email account, and awards will also be reflected in the student’s MyCoyote Financial Aid Portal.
Scholarship consideration and awarding may continue throughout the academic year as funds become available or additional eligibility is confirmed. Not all applicants who apply will be selected for an award.
