The CSU Trustees' Awards recognize students who have overcome adversity, demonstrated financial need, and have attributes of merit, including superior academic performance, significant personal achievements, and exemplary community service. Contact the Financial Aid Office for the spring application deadline and the information on how to apply. The Financial Aid Office will review the applications to ensure that they meet all requirements and, in consultation with the campus President, will select and forward one final nominee. Nominees with the highest scores will be interviewed for one of the top scholarship awards. A nomination cover letter from the campus president and two letters of reference from individuals who can attest to the candidate's meritorious performance and personal strengths and assess the nominee's potential for success are required. One of the letters of reference must be from an academic instructor. Supplemental materials will be required once the final nominee is selected. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
