Scholarships
As a Zoology Major, you are eligible to apply for 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Scholarships, College of Science Scholarships, and Department of Zoology Scholarships.
In order to receive a college level and/or department level scholarship, you must first apply at the university level for 91¶ÌÊÓƵ scholarships & financial aid. 91¶ÌÊÓƵ begins accepting university-level scholarship applications on September 01 of each academic year (awards for which are applied toward the next academic year), so please apply as early as possible.
The College of Science begins accepting applications for scholarships in January. These are separate applications unique to the college.
Zoology Department scholarships are awarded according to the information available on the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Scholarship Application, meaning you do not need to fill out a separate application for these scholarships. However, you must have your 91¶ÌÊÓƵ university-level scholarship information submitted by February 1st to be considered.
All scholarships, at all levels, are awarded for use during the next academic year (which begins with the Summer semester if you are attending classes full-time then).
Please come in and visit with us to discuss the department scholarships in more detail.
