The School of Business offers a wide variety of Scholarships and Awards to recognize our students hard work and outstanding scholastic achievements.

Students who excel in their studies are also eligible for recognition through membership in the campus chapters of Beta Gamma Sigma, a national honor society in business administration, and the Financial Management Association National Honor Society. Initiation is competitive and highly selective.

These awards are presented by our dedicated faculty at our Annual Scholarship & Award Ceremony which is held in early May.
