“Much of what I have been able to accomplish here is because of the scholarship support I received. It has also made graduate school possible and allowed me time to participate in meaningful service for others. One day I hope to follow by example and give other students a helping hand.”

Outside of federal financial aid, Shippensburg University students can partially or fully fund their education through private and university-sourced scholarships, grants and loans.

You might have filled out the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), but don’t miss out on any other aid you’re eligible for. Learn how to apply to scholarships, find grants and source loan assistance.

Scholarships

Scholarships for undergraduate, graduate and transfer students can be institutional or from state, local or private sources. Some Shippensburg scholarships are awarded based on your admission application, and some require a separate application.

Shippensburg awards several institutional scholarships, including:

Merit scholarships
Need-based scholarships and housing assistance
Academic scholarships
Athletic scholarships

We’ve also compiled resources to help you find financial support outside of Ship, including how to search for outside or privately funded scholarships. Review complete information regarding scholarships at Shippensburg

Grants

If you want to receive student financial aid that doesn’t require repayment, grants are another option. When you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you are automatically considered for some federal grant awards, but Shippensburg students may be eligible for other types of Pennsylvania grants.

Review a list of federal and state grants you may be eligible for and learn how to apply.

Loans

If you find yourself needing to apply for a student loan to help cover costs, you and your family can accept them through federal programs or private lenders. Shippensburg University also can source your student loan through our Alumni Student Loan program.
