External Scholarship Resources
External Scholarships
This page is designed to connect current and incoming GSU students with reputable funding opportunities offered by organizations, businesses, and other entities outside of the university. GSU wants to support your academic and professional goals by providing clear, accessible information about scholarship opportunities that are aligned with a wide range of fields and interests. We encourage you to review each opportunity carefully and make use of these resources as you plan your educational journey.
Please be mindful of scams. When conducting your own search, remember that legitimate scholarship providers will never require you to pay a fee to apply for or receive funding. Any entity requesting payment (whether labeled as a processing fee, application fee, or any form of charge) is most likely a scam. Always be cautious and verify the credibility of the source before providing your personal information.
For additional assistance, please contact the Coordinator of External Scholarships, Alyssa Yeager, by emailing alyssa.yeager@glenville.edu.
