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 care more about how you were the Student Body Secretary, clubs you were in, volunteer hours, after-school jobs, the time your debate team won the state championship, founded your school’s gaming club, and other ways you’ve been involved outside of the classroom. 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

Plus, there’s no extra step – your application to Schreiner is also your scholarship application! Be sure to add all of your involvement to get up to $100,000 in scholarships over four years.
