Scholarship Opportunities
Tuition is on the rise nation-wide and scholarships give access to higher education for students of all income levels. The Cal Poly Aerospace Engineering department understands the role outside scholarships play in supporting our students.
Below is a list of scholarships offered through a variety of foundations and agencies that we hope will also be of assistance. Some of our current students have received funding through the scholarships listed.
Note: This is a list of scholarships given out by (mostly) external entities and is by no means an all-inclusive list. For more information about scholarships, please visit the Cal Poly Financial Aid department.
