On-campus scholarships are administered by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships, academic colleges, various campus departments, and associations. These are available for both incoming and/or continuing students and are generally awarded based on financial need, merit, leadership, talent, and community service. Some scholarships may require a GPA of 2.0 or higher and enrollment criteria may vary by each scholarship.

Application Process
The online Scholarships application is available to current CSUSB students and incoming CSUSB 'applicants' with a Coyote ID. The general online application (accessible via MyCoyote) must be submitted electronically by the deadline listed on the application. In addition to the online application and autobiographical statement, a letter of recommendation is required to be uploaded into the application no later than one week after the application deadline by a teacher or faculty member. Students who complete a general application will automatically be considered for all scholarships for which they are eligible.

During that time, scholarship award notifications will be sent by email to selected student recipient who can read notification and view the award via his or her MyCoyote. The notification will include the name and amount of the scholarship. Consideration for additional scholarship awards may continue throughout the academic year.
