Financial Aid and Scholarships
Central State University’s 2026–2027 Admissions and Financial Aid Guide brings together everything you need to plan your path to becoming a Marauder, including admissions requirements, freshman and transfer merit scholarships, prestigious awards like the Presidential, Trustee, and USDA 1890 National Scholars programs, and the estimated cost of attendance. Inside, you’ll also find a step-by-step financial aid checklist that walks you through completing the FAFSA, accepting your award, and confirming your aid for disbursement, so nothing falls through the cracks. Download the booklet to keep a handy reference as you compare scholarship opportunities, estimate your costs, and take each step toward making a Central State education affordable.
