Scholarships

Scholarships provide financial support for students to help pay for a college degree. These funds enable students to obtain education they may not have access to otherwise. Scholarships reward deserving students with the ability to afford higher education

If you need assistance on how to apply for a scholarship, please schedule an appointment with a Program Manager, or reach out to our office. We would be happy to assist you.

You must complete FAFSA before applying for these scholarships. If you haven't completed FAFSA, try the U.S. Department of Education's Financial Aid Estimator. You will need to save it and send it to scholarship@weber.edu.

Scholarship applications for the fall 2023-2024 school year have closed. Check back later.
