Our donor-funded scholarships application is now open for traditional undergraduate students!

Through Student Resources in your MyGeorgeFox portal, you have access to complete just one application and essay for the opportunity to be matched with more than 200 of our donor-funded scholarships.

Our donor-funded scholarships range from $500 to $15,000! These scholarships have a variety of criteria, from academic major and grade level to background and financial need. Once your application and essay are submitted, you are put in the running for the scholarships you qualify for. It’s that easy!

If you’re looking for a way to fill the gap for the 2022-23 academic year, this is a great opportunity. While you are not guaranteed a scholarship, we encourage all eligible students to apply.

Didn’t receive a scholarship last year? Because some scholarships consider grade level, it is a good idea to complete the application each year you are eligible, as you may be qualified for some scholarships you weren’t in previous years.

Deadlines and Dates to Remember:

• Feb. 11 – Application closes
• Feb. 14 – Letters of Recommendation due (when applicable)

Questions? Reach out to our Scholarship Resource Center at scholarships@georgefox.edu.
