Grants & Scholarships
Grants and scholarships, commonly referred to as “gift aid” is free money that can be used to help pay expenses for your education. The money can come from a variety of places – federal or state governments, Schreiner University, or miscellaneous outside sources.
Schreiner University offers all three versions: merit based aid, need based aid and performance based aid. In this way, we insure that every student has the capability of receiving some form of “free money” to help pay for their education.
In additional to institutional programs, we offer an outside scholarship program where our Financial Aid office actively works with students applying for outside scholarships.

We know there’s more to you than your grades. Yes, GPA, test scores, and grades are important, but Schreiner University awards scholarships of up to $100,000 over four years based on the whole package that is uniquely YOU! That includes your GRIT!
We care about how you were the Student Body Secretary, all the clubs you were in, your volunteer hours, any after-school jobs, the time your debate team won the state championship (Yay!!), or you founded your school’s gaming club, and other ways you’ve been involved outside of the classroom, on top of your GPA. When you APPLY to SU, tell us about your:
- Generosity – Where you volunteered or have been generous with your time
- Resilience – What challenges you have overcome and where you strived to succeed
- Involvement – What clubs, activities, or programs you participate in
- Tenacity – In what ways you have been a leader or persisted
There’s no extra step – your application to Schreiner is also your scholarship application! When you self-report your GPA, please be sure to also self-report all of your involvement to get up to $100,000 in scholarships over four years.
