Scholarships for new students

New students are automatically considered for academic scholarships based on a careful review of their application materials. Award notices are sent to selected students shortly after they are admitted to Calvin.

Scholarships for current students

During 2023-2024, 106 scholarships for a total of $454,675 were awarded to education students! If you are eligible, be sure to apply.

Because many of the scholarships require some financial need, it is important that you explain your financial situation in the application, especially if you did not submit a FAFSA or Calvin's Financial Aid office determined that you did not have any need after receiving academic scholarships this current year. Contact Shawna Huls at shawna.huls@calvin.edu or (616) 526-6105 if you have questions.

Michigan Educator Grants

Calvin students may be eligible for Michigan’s Future Educator Fellowship and Future Educator Student Teacher Stipend. Application information and deadlines will be emailed to students who are enrolled in the Education Program.

TEACH grant

The TEACH Grant is a federal program that provides grants to students who plan to teach full time in high-need subject areas at schools serving students from low-income families.

How to apply for scholarships

The application forms for named scholarships are available every year beginning December 1 and must be submitted by January 31. All students who will be enrolled next academic year are encouraged to apply (including newly admitted students and international students). Complete one scholarship application, and you will be automatically considered for all scholarships that match your eligibility.
