For details on each scholarship, please visit http://www.sfsu.edu/~finaid/scholarships/ and contact each org. for the most up-to-date scholarship information. At San Francisco State University, we seek to promote scholarship opportunities for ALL our students, including undocumented/AB 540 students and international students. In our scholarship database, there are MANY scholarships available that do not require proof of citizenship or residency status, and/or are open specifically to AB 540 students. . In fact, the majority of scholarships on our database do not use citizenship to determine eligibility. The scholarships listed below are only a small sample of those available. To identify other scholarships you might be eligible for: 1) Search our database by keyword, major, GPA, class level, enrollment status, citizenship, & application deadline; THEN, 2) Check the requirements listed under the citizenship category. If this category lists “Any”, proof of citizenship or residency status was not listed as part of the scholarship criteria. AB 540 students should also search by using the keyword “AB 540” to identify additional scholarships they might be eligible for. Due to AB 130, five SF State scholarships just began using the CA Dream Application to determine financial need: University, Community College Transfer Honor, Ray Uribe, Estella Lara, and Wallace Fund for Diversity Scholarships.
