Outside Scholarships

Students are strongly encouraged to pursue scholarships from outside the university. Your home community and the Internet can be great potential sources for a scholarship. Also, do not stop applying for scholarships once you have been enrolled at Shenandoah University. Outside scholarship opportunities will continue to become available throughout your academic career.

If you receive scholarships from outside of Shenandoah University, please make our office aware by submitting the Declaration of Outside Grants and Scholarships Form.
