San Diego State University Merit Scholarships

The SDSU Merit Scholarship, SDSU's most prestigious scholarship, is awarded to a select number of the most academically-qualified students who graduate from a local SDSU admissions-area high school and achieve a minimum 4.30 CSU calculated high school GPA. The scholarship application is available by invitation-only and qualified first-year applicants are notified in December and January if they are eligible for consideration. If eligible for the SDSU Merit Scholarship, you will receive an email that will contain the link to apply for the SDSU Merit Scholarship, which is by invitation only. Do not share this link with others. Award amounts are typically $7,500 - $10,000 per year. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships for more information.
