Fund your business education goals with a scholarship

Central Michigan University’s College of Business Administration offers students exclusive scholarship opportunities, awarding more than $500,000 annually to support their academic and professional success.

Last year, 340 students received scholarships, reflecting the college’s commitment to empowering future business leaders. Students can explore available scholarships online and access a step-by-step video tutorial for application guidance.

More than just financial aid 

You don’t need to have a perfect GPA to apply. Many academic scholarships are awarded based on diverse evaluation factors like leadership qualities, career interests, community involvement, and economic need. A wide range of scholarship opportunities exists to support students at every stage of their education – from freshmen to those approaching graduation.   

Scholarships that transform lives

Beyond funding education, the scholarships available through the CBA create a lasting impact on its students. “We have several alumni who received awards as students and went on to become successful in their careers,” said CBA executive secretary Cindy Howard, who administers and oversees the application collection process. “They then created their own award to pay it forward to current students.” This creates a continuous cycle of generosity, where current scholarship recipients become future fund creators, supporting the next generation of scholars.
