Many of the highest-paid college degrees are in engineering, science and mathematics, but first you have to pay for college. That may not be as hard as you think, thanks to opportunities offered by our alumni and friends.

Scholarships

Our most robust scholarship opportunities — awarded based on your area of study and grade point average — are available to our current students.

We provide nearly all our international students with the Dean’s International Scholar Award, a program which brings the cost of tuition for international students close to in-state rates.
