California State University Scholarships

The CSU system offers a wide variety of scholarships to students who are enrolled throughout the 23 CSU campuses. The scholarships that are most relevant for Lurie College of Education students include:

Bertha Kalm Scholarship

This scholarship is the result of an endowment made by Bertha Kalm on behalf of her parents, Amanda and Charles Kalm. She established the scholarship in 1995 expressly "to support graduate students in any field of instruction, who need financial assistance to continue their education, and who demonstrate a desire to make a difference for humanity." 

Up to four scholarships of $10,000 each will be awarded to students  in the 2024-2025 academic year.  In order to be eligible to apply, a student must be in the first year of their graduate education and must be nominated by a tenured or tenure-track faculty member. This scholarship is also open to international students as well. Students may not self-apply to this scholarship, but may contact tenure-track faculty and seek their support.

Please visit the College of Graduate Studies' webpage to learn more about the application process, important dates, and selection criteria.
