Many parents and students are eager to find out if they are going to receive a Fresno State scholarship for the 2009/2010 school year. Please keep in mind that at this point it is too early to determine who’s receiving a scholarship. The Scholarship Office will be receiving scholarship recommendations from departments and donors all summer long. The awarding process will be on-going throughout the summer and may extend past the first two weeks of the fall semester. If your student is awarded a scholarship, he or she will receive a congratulatory award letter in the mail announcing the scholarship. For those of you who wish to monitor the award activity in real time, students are able to remotely check their status by logging on to their My Fresno State portal. Under their “Student Center,” look for the “Finances” header and you will see a link called “View Financial Aid.” The first thing the Scholarship Office does when awarding a scholarship to a student is to post the award on their student account. That data entry is what initiates the award letter to be printed and mailed to the student. You can view this activity by clicking on “View Financial Aid.” If there is no scholarship award posted on their account, then no scholarships have been awarded to the student. You can view this activity by clicking on “View Financial Aid.” If there is no scholarship award posted on their account, then no scholarships have been awarded to the student. Students are encouraged to check their Fresno State portal frequently for this and other important campus news.
As a reminder, the Scholarship application process for 2009-2010 is now closed. The next opportunity to apply for Fresno State scholarships will be on October 1, 2009 for the 2010-2011 school year. For more information, please visit the scholarship website at: www.csufresno.edu/scholarships.
