Private Scholarships
Private scholarships are available from a number of organizations that support graduate and/or theological education.
We encourage students to apply for awards from other sources, such as civic organizations or private foundations. Just make sure you report them to the Office of Financial Assistance.
Federal regulations require that these awards be treated as educational resources meeting the financial aid applicant’s need. Drew University’s policy is that such resources are used first to reduce unmet need, then loan eligibility, then work eligibility and, only if necessary, scholarships.
