Scholarships

Through the generosity of special contributors, the School of Social and Family Dynamics is able to provide our students majoring in Family and Human Development and Sociology with scholarship funding. Each year, we award approximately $22,000 in scholarship money to our majors. Awards typically range from $300 to $1500 per student awardee. Scholarships are available to both online and on-campus students.

Eligibility requirements:

  • Enrolled at ASU as a Family and Human Development or Sociology major
  • Completed at least 12 credit hours as an FHD or SOC major at ASU
  • Have at least 12 credit hours left to complete in the subsequent year. Scholarships are awarded in April for the subsequent academic year.
  • Have a minimum 3.0 GPA in your major

How to Apply:

To apply for a scholarship, students must complete and submit one online Sanford School Scholarship Application Form. Completing the form enters you into the pool of applicants for all of the SSFD scholarships. The form opens on January 1st. Applications are due February 15 and recommendations are due by February 22. At least one recommendation letter from an ASU faculty member is preferred. Applications are not considered complete until the required recommendations are received. Requirements include names and contact information for two recommenders (at least one from ASU faculty member preferred) and unoffical transcripts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure all required materials are submitted by the deadlines.
