CLA Dean’s Scholarships & Awards

This application opens at the conclusion of the fall semester each year.  Students with a primary major in the College of Liberal Arts may apply for CLA General Scholarships & Awards.  Continuing students are encouraged to apply each year.  Seniors who will be in their final semester when the application closes are also encouraged to apply. We suggest that students new to Temple University (freshman, transfers) apply each year once they have already completed one full semester at Temple University. 

Please contact  with questions regarding the CLA scholarships and awards.

Study Abroad Scholarships & Awards
