Outside Scholarships
Our office has compiled a catalog of Outside Source Scholarships that are offered through private agencies and organizations. The catalog will be updated monthly and new scholarships will be posted when they become available. Eligibility requirements and application deadlines are subject to change. Please be advised that Dominican University of California and the Office of Financial Aid are impartial to the views and opinions of the scholarships compiled in the catalog.
Avoid Scams
Scholarships that sound too good to be true usually are. The number one tip: If you have to pay money to get money, it's probably a scam. In general, be wary of scholarships with an application fee, scholarship matching services who guarantee success, advance-fee loan scams and sales pitches disguised as financial aid "seminars".
