Currently enrolled A&GS students are strongly encouraged to apply for scholarships through the University’s Centralized Academic Scholarship Hub (CASH), accessible through the Financial Aid Website.
In CASH, eligible students can apply for a number of other scholarships specific to the Department of Geography & Environmental Sustainability (DGES) and the School of Meteorology (SoM), as well as:
- The South Central Climate Science Adaptation Center International Studies Scholarship ($5,000)
- The John T. Snow Study Abroad scholarship ($1,500)
In addition, the College provides a limited number of tuition waivers for out-of-state students, including incoming freshmen. Eligible students are selected by DGES and SoM faculty annually.
The College of A&GS offers financial assistance to students traveling to professional conferences.
