Outside scholarships may be offered by employers, trade associations, banks, credit unions, individuals, private companies, nonprofits, communities, religious groups, and professional and social organizations. They may be awarded based on academic achievement or on a combination of academics and a special talent, trait, or interest. Other scholarships may be based on financial need or geared towards specific groups of people or backgrounds. Outside scholarships are gifts and do not need to be repaid, therefore, when applying for outside scholarships, be careful. Make sure scholarship information and offers are legitimate and understand that you do not have to pay to find scholarships or other financial aid.

In support of our current and potential students, Gonzaga's Financial Aid Office maintains a database of scholarships for students to access. Search our list of scholarships by completing the section below.
Tips for Searching:
- Any scholarship that includes an asterisk * denotes that the scholarship has been granted to Gonzaga students in the past.
- Don't narrow your search too much; otherwise, you may miss out an opportunity!
- For example, if you would like to narrow the search, check the appropriate boxes or select the appropriate drop-down to restrict the results to scholarships that apply to one of those selections. For example, checking "Historically Underrepresented and/or Traditionally Marginalized" and selecting "Only Female" will show scholarships that require you to fit one of those criteria (either Female or Historically Underrepresented and/or Traditionally Marginalized). It does not mean the listed scholarships are the only ones available to you.
For scholarships that require a paper application please contact the Financial Aid Office at (509) 313-6582, or by email at finaid@gonzaga.edu. If you would like to visit our office we are located in the basement of Crosby, Suite 001.
