Bemidji State University Scholarships<\/h2>\n

Bemidji State offers scholarships to new incoming students as well as support throughout your time at BSU through program-specific scholarships.<\/p>\n

New Incoming Students<\/h3>\n

First-time BSU student scholarships are awarded through the BSU Foundation Scholarship Application described below. We also encourage you to submit your FAFSA as early as possible to maximize your scholarship eligibility. You must be “accepted” before submitting your scholarship application.<\/p>\n

Foundation Scholarship Application<\/h3>\n

Submit a single application to apply for over 450 BSU scholarships! Scholarships included with this application range from Departmental, Alumni\/Foundation, American Indian Resource Center, Admissions, University scholarships and more!<\/p>\n

Most of your academic information is incorporated into your scholarship application “behind the scenes” via your StarID.<\/p>\n

File your FAFSA for the upcoming school year to maximize your scholarship eligibility. Many scholarships use data entered on your FAFSA application. For the 2026-2027 academic year, the FAFSA<\/i><\/a> will be available October 1, 2025.<\/p>\n

Application windows and deadlines vary between departments and awards. Still, to be considered for ALL<\/strong> BSU awards each academic year, apply beginning October 15, 2025!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deadline for applications to be received for review is Monday, March 2, 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n
