Whether you have been building up an impressive academic portfolio for years or qualify for need-based scholarships, our Financial Aid officers are ready to support you and find the perfect opportunities to reward your achievements.
One of the most rewarding ways to pay for your college education is through Scholarships and Grants.
Scholarships and grants provide the best kind of financial aid–the kind you don’t have to pay back! While there may be overlap between these two types of support, grants are typically awarded based on financial need, while scholarships are given based on academic achievements.
Our scholarship funding comes from endowments and donations established by individuals, organizations, and the university’s general operating accounts. As soon as you complete your FAFSA, you’ll start the process of being considered for scholarships provided through Gallaudet and discover if you qualify for Federal grants.
