Cuesta College offers a variety of scholarships to help pay for the costs of attending college. Scholarships are awarded to students based on various special qualifications, such as academic achievement, artistic abilities, demonstrated leadership, athletic talents, or to students who are in particular fields of study, members of underrepresented groups, or who demonstrate a financial need.
Scholarships are provided to Cuesta College students by the generosity of foundations, corporations, and individual donors.
You will find useful information about the Cuesta College Scholarship Application and the Cuesta Promise below. Additionally, you will find links to scholarship databases and information about outside scholarships.
IMPORTANT: Although completing a FAFSA or CADAA is not required to submit a scholarship application, we HIGHLY encourage you to submit a financial aid application because some scholarships are based on need.
