How to Apply for Scholarships

Bellevue University's scholarship application system STARS Online is available. Students can manage their own information, apply for multiple scholarships and check award status from any computer. For information on upcoming application periods, deadline dates and award notifications, please go to Scholarships.

NOTE: STARS Online is currently closed and applications are no longer being accepted at this time. Committee reviews will begin shortly for the Fall 2013 term. All applicants will be notified by June 10, 2013 if they are selected for a scholarship, and at that time the scholarship system will re-open to continue accepting applications for the Fall term.

Before you begin creating your STARS online profile and completing the scholarship application, read through the Tips for Applying for a Scholarship.

• Complete the Bellevue University Application for Admission.

• Complete the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have the results sent to Bellevue University. The FAFSA is available on the web at www.fafsa.gov or from high school counselors. Bellevue University's financial aid code is #002538.
• Complete the STARS online scholarship application.
• Upon selection, recipients will be required to submit one or more of the following:
  • A typed thank you letter (See Sample)
  • A current photo
  • An acknowledgement/acceptance form

All documentation must be uploaded to the scholarship application.

All aid received from sources outside Bellevue University must be reported to the student's Financial Counselor. Financial aid which has been awarded in response to your financial need is subject to change, if upon receipt of other aid, your total aid exceeds your demonstrated financial need, as required by state and federal regulations.
