Scholarships

The 2024-25 COTA Scholarships application is available online and will close on March 12, 2024.

Students need to complete the BeachScholarships application to qualify for the College of The Arts scholarships and other CSULB university-wide available scholarships.

The application is divided in two sections: The general university section and the respective COTA Departments section, as applicable to each student. Applicants must complete both sections of the application to be considered submitted.  

A completed FAFSA or CADAA (CA Dream Act Application) application is required for majority of the College of the Arts scholarships (financial need-based scholarships).  The FAFSA and CADAA applications deadline is April 2, 2024.
