Fall 2025 AS Scholarships

AS Housing Scholarship: $2,500 per recipient

Applicants must demonstrate their capacity to excel academically at the university in addition to their community involvement activities while at CSUMB to be considered. 

AS Book Scholarship: $200 per recipient

  • The Associated Students Book Scholarship recognizes that the cost of textbooks and other required course materials can place a significant financial burden on students. This scholarship is designed to help alleviate that stress by providing financial assistance to ensure students have access to the essential resources they need for academic success.

AS Capstone Scholarship: $250 per recipient (co-sponsored by the Alumni Association)

  • To support students in completing their final academic milestone, Associated Students has established the AS Capstone Scholarship typically awarded to seniors working on their Capstone projects.

AS Meal Plan Scholarship

  • The Meal Plan Scholarship at CSUMB is a vital initiative aimed at ensuring that no student has to choose between their education and their next meal. It provides eligible students with access to nutritious meals on campus, helping them stay focused, energized, and engaged in their studies and campus life.

AS Spring Parking Permit Scholarship: 1 permit per recipient

  • The purpose of the AS Spring Parking Permit Scholarship is to support students who demonstrate financial need, academic commitment, and active campus involvement by reducing the cost barrier associated with on-campus parking. This scholarship provides full coverage of the cost of a semester parking permit.
