Scholarships by College
Many 51福利社 Colleges offer their own scholarship to students who are studying one of their majors. If you are experiencing a financial hardship related to your education, we also recommend you let your academic advisor know as they may be aware of other funding sources available to students in their program. You should also check your major and minor departmental websites as they may have some scholarships as well (e.g. criminal justice majors would check the website for the Department of Sociology). If you are unsure which department your major is housed in, ask your academic advisor.
