Scholarships

Through the generosity of our many donors and supporters, we award over $250,000 in undergraduate and graduate scholarships each year. They're primarily awarded based on academic merit and financial need, but some are specific to students in particular majors or from specific geographic regions. Some help our students to conduct their own research.

Our College's Student Emergency Fund provides students with critical support needed to continue their University education, despite unexpected challenges or emergencies.

Tribal Students Program

A program designed to recruit, retain and graduate American Indian/Alaska Native students in agriculture-related programs

We want you to have everything you need to succeed. All students can borrow VR equipment, maker supplies, audio equipment, video cameras and other items on a short-term basis at no cost.

Dean's List

In recognition of academic excellence, every semester, selected undergraduate students are named to the Dean's List. The Dean's List for the College recognizes undergraduates who earn at least a 3.75 GPA for 12 or more credits of graded course work during a semester.

 

Student clubs and organizations

Getting involved in campus life is a terrific way to network and make connections, expand interests and hobbies, learn about new cultures, and effect positive change in our College and University. If you don't see a club that meets your needs, we can help you start your own.
