Alfred State has a new scholarship platform called Scholarship Universe. It’s the one place where students can be matched with both internal and external scholarships.

5 Things to Know:

1.     When you log in, you'll land on a dashboard. To unlock scholarships, the most important step is answering the matching questions — you can click the green bar with the dollar signs at the top or the “Questions” tab on the left.

2.    As you answer questions, the system automatically matches you with scholarships you may qualify for. Matches can be viewed under the “Scholarships” tab on the left toolbar. Scholarships are labeled as Match, Partial Match, or Non-Match.

3.     You can see application-based scholarships under the “Applications” tab, including a section for ones that are “Ready to Start.”

4.     If documents are required, you can upload everything directly under the “My Docs” tab.

5.     It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s absolutely worth it — scholarships are open NOW, so students should log in and get started, you can access Scholarship Universe by this link:  https://alfredstate.scholarshipuniverse.com or on our Alfred State webpage: ScholarshipUniverse | Alfred State
