All continuing students, including recipients of renewable scholarships, are required to submit a new scholarship application each academic year

2. You will need to complete the General Application every year. Once submitted, you will be automatically matched for many of the scholarships available based on your application information. Students are not notified of auto-matched scholarships
3. The application system will also identify scholarships for which you may be qualified but require some additional information beyond what you have shared in the General Application. Click on Opportunities > Recommended to review these scholarships, determine if you are a match, and then click on “Apply”.
4. If you are scheduled to graduate from Lander during the 2026-2027 academic year, you will not be eligible for 2027-2028 academic year scholarships unless you have been accepted by a Graduate Studies program at Lander.

Please keep in mind that the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required for any opportunity that requires the student to demonstrate financial need.
