If you are in the process of transferring to California State University, Long Beach, you may apply for off-campus scholarships. Most of the scholarships offered by CSULB are for undergraduate students. We recommend that you view Scholarships for Undergraduate Students after you have established yourself at the Beach.
Often, the institution from which you are transferring offers scholarships to its students. Please contact the scholarship office at your institution to receive more information on scholarships for which you may be eligible.
The Center for Scholarship Information (CSI) is the main source for information regarding on- and off-campus scholarships at CSULB. The office provides the following services for you to utilize:
Scholarship Search
The scholarship search provides comprehensive information on hundreds of scholarships. Information on scholarships is categorized into categories such as academic interest, extra-curricular activities and general demographics.
The Office of Financial Aid oversees three types of aid that are provided by the federal and state government for students:
Students may apply for these three types of aid by filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Whether or not you think you are eligible for these types of aid, we recommend that you file for the FAFSA. The Office of Financial Aid also announces scholarships and considers your FAFSA information in the awarding process. If you have any questions regarding these types of aid, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at (562) 985-8403.
Scholarship search engines are a great way to find off-campus scholarships not listed with the Center for Scholarship Information. Choose a search engine, and fill out a student profile on their website. The scholarship search engine will then send information on scholarships to your e-mail account. Scholarship search engines also provide a wide variety of information on other financial aid topics.
