Returning Student Scholarships
Peru State College offers a variety of scholarships. The Admissions Office awards
New Student & Transfer Student Scholarships. The Financial Aid Office awards Returning Student Scholarships and Need-based Scholarships.
Returning students need to complete a Scholarship Application each year to be considered.
The priority deadline is posted annually. Scholarship applications received after
the deadline will only be considered for declined scholarships that become available
for re-awarding.
Students who want to be considered for need-based scholarships must also complete
a FAFSA form by March 15th, annually.
In addition to Peru State scholarships, there are numerous scholarships available
through outside sources. Below are links to several free scholarship searches.
