Departmental Scholarships

Explore the many scholarships in addition to the merit-based and competitive awards CMU offers. If you are interested in a specific program of study, diversity, equity and inclusion, study abroad, or have a parent or grandparent who graduated from CMU, we have scholarship opportunities for you.

Scholarship Universe (SU) is our scholarship-matching tool for admitted CMU students. SU connects students to millions of dollars in internal (CMU) and external (outside of CMU) scholarship opportunities.

The 2023-2024 CMU application on Scholarship Universe will open in mid-January 2023 for admitted CMU students. In addition to opportunities on Scholarship Universe, be sure to review the Departmental Scholarships below.
