RaiseMe

Through RaiseMe you can track your progress towards an education at CSU by earning micro-scholarships for your achievements throughout college, both inside and outside the classroom.

Criteria:  Create a profile through RaiseMe, earn a 3.2 GPA, have completed 24 credit hours prior to transferring to CSU, and be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident.

Amount of Award:  Up to $1500 a year (disbursed fall and spring semesters). Students must attend Cleveland State full-time (12+ credits per semester).
Note: You may be eligible for more aid based on your formal application for admission and financial aid forms. If you receive a higher amount of scholarship and grant aid in your final award letter from Cleveland State University, note that this includes the amount you earned on RaiseMe and is not in addition to your earnings on RaiseMe. RaiseMe scholarships cannot be stacked on top of merit scholarships offered.

Number of Awards: varies, based on funding.

Renewable: Yes, for an additional academic year, must remain in good academic standing and satisfactorily complete at least 12 credit hours per semester.
