Scholarships
The 2025-2026 COTA Scholarships application will be available in January 2025.
Students need to complete the BeachScholarships application to qualify for the College of The Arts scholarships and other CSULB university-wide available scholarships.
The application is divided in two sections: The general university section and the respective COTA Departments section, as applicable to each student. Applicants must complete both sections of the application to be considered submitted.
A completed FAFSA or CADAA (CA Dream Act Application) application is required for majority of the College of the Arts scholarships (financial need-based scholarships). The FAFSA and CADAA applications deadline is April 2, 2024.
You can also learn more about the department process by contacting Department Chair Ezra LeBank.
