Don’t let financial strain keep you from pursuing higher education. Through various scholarships and advisors to guide you along the way, earning a college degree can be an attainable and affordable experience, leaving you to concentrate on your studies instead of financial burdens. Read through “How to Find and Win Scholarships” by Dean Chavers from Catching the Dream organization.

Cal State San Bernardino is dedicated to supporting its students in their transition into higher education and throughout their academic journey. Our goal is to see students graduate and take what they have learned and experienced into the world and into their communities, and we hope that through scholarship support, we are able to help lighten some of the financial burdens that can be associated with going to college.
