Libraries Student Scholarships

The Libraries provide many partial scholarships each year to recognize our exceptional student colleagues, contributing to our mission of supporting student success and affordability. Since 2018, we have awarded 162 scholarships to 92 students.

Thanks to generous philanthropic support for the Libraries Student Scholarship Program, we're proud to support 34 outstanding students with a total of $195,000 in scholarships for the 2026-27 academic year.
