Undergraduate Scholarship Program
More than $450,000 in scholarship aid was awarded to Isenberg School students last year. The majority of these scholarships are generously funded by alumni, members of the Isenberg School community, and business friends.
All your scholarships. All in one place.
The University has implemented an exciting and convenient new system, Academic Works, which automatically matches you with the scholarships and financial awards you’re eligible for. These include scholarships and financial awards offered through Isenberg, Commonwealth Honors College, the Alumni Association, financial aid, and your major department.
How to enroll and apply

- Click on a scholarship link and upload supplementary documents (resumes, letters from faculty, etc., depending on the award).
- Submit your application and see your dashboard, which shows you the status of any pending and submitted applications.
