Sul Ross State University Scholarships 2024 - 2025

For consideration of all Sul Ross State University (SRSU) scholarships, students are required to submit a single General Scholarship Application each academic year. If you were a previous applicant or wish to be considered for scholarship renewal, it is essential to reapply for consideration for the 2024-2025 academic year funding.

Upon successful submission of a scholarship application, students will receive a confirmation email to their student@sulross.edu email address. It’s important to note that the submission of an application does not guarantee the receipt of an award. This confirmation email will clearly indicate whether the application has been approved or denied.

Throughout the academic year, additional scholarship opportunities may become available, each with its unique requirements and deadlines. These opportunities will be periodically listed below for your reference.

Thank you for your proactive engagement in pursuing scholarship opportunities at SRSU.
