CFNEIA scholarships

This is a group of awards reached through one application. Each award inside it has its own rules.

Award

Donor scholarships with varying amounts; most cover one year, while some are two-year, four-year or renewable. Confirm the chosen fund’s amount and renewal criteria.

Deadline

Application window opens January 10; page says complete 2027 process details will be posted then. Closing date not published. FAQ differs on required references: recommends by application deadline but permits receipt within one week after it; confirm the fund’s deadline.

How to apply

Create scholarship account and complete common application plus matched-fund supplements. Upload current unofficial transcript and financial information when needed. Some funds require a nonfamily reference, submitted directly by recommender through emailed link; external funds apply through school/community groups.

Who can apply

High-school seniors, college students and adult learners planning college/university/trade/community-college study in fall. Fund-specific region, school, major, merit, need and demographic criteria apply; some are achievement-based without need.

Good to know

FAFSA summary optional for collection, but needed for many need-based funds; confirmation email with SAI accepted if summary pending. Award acceptance requires acceptance/college forms, proof of enrollment and donor thank-you; admission alone not proof. Results generally May/mid-June. Removed old aggregate-average award estimate.
