<p>^Bump…</p>
<p>I would like to know the same…</p>
<p>I’ll bump this as well…</p>
<p>Check the Financial Aid link from your student’s portal: [Cal</a> Poly Financial Aid - Scholarships](<a href=“http://www.ess.calpoly.edu/_finaid/types_aid/scholarships.htm]Cal”>http://www.ess.calpoly.edu/_finaid/types_aid/scholarships.htm). There are quite a few scholarships available and it’s not too late to apply. My daughter received a Cal Poly Outreach scholarship for out-of-state students 2 years ago and we didn’t even have to apply! Scholarships and financial aid awards will appear on your portal on April 1, 2012.</p>
<p>“Scholarships are awarded each year. Criteria include financial need, scholastic achievement, participation in school activities, community service, honors and organizational affiliations, and educational objectives. Some scholarships have additional requirements which relate to a concentration or field of study, geographic origin, class level, and project or design portfolios.”</p>
<p>“Cal Poly does not require a scholarship application for incoming students. All incoming students are automatically considered for scholarships for which they qualify.”</p>
<p>“Scholarships are normally awarded during the spring and summer for the following academic year.”</p>
<p>Hope that Helps!</p>
