Daniels Fund scholarships are dispersed after other federal, state, institutional, and private financial aid and scholarships have been applied. Students must submit a FAFSA and specific documents to their Daniels Fund Scholar Relations Officer for continued scholaship eligibilty.
When
The nomination deadline for graduating highs school students is typically in November Daniels Scholarships are awarded in the spring to graduating seniors and are distributed to CSU Student Financial Services in the fall, to be dispersed to the Scholars’ account for the academic year.
How
Through a partnership with the Daniels Fund, CASA provides a Campus Liaison who serves as an on-campus support and information anchor for CSU Daniels Scholars. Individual support is offered and various events are planned for Scholars to encourage a sense of community and to offer network opportunities with faculty and staff.
