Our Opportunities

Welcome to the College of DuPage Scholarship Portal!

Our next scholarship cycle is for Fall 2025 and is now opened as of February 1 and will close on April 15. We currently have a few scholarships open for Spring 2025 and/or Summer 2025. These vary based on specific programs/deadlines. Please be sure to read through the descriptions to ensure you meet the qualifications.

Below you will find a listing of scholarships available to COD students with brief information about the scholarship criteria. In order to apply, you must be a registered, current or incoming COD student, with a user name and password from MyAccess.

  • Sign in using your COD log in credentials through the applicant/administrator side – prompted to Sign In With Institution.
  • Complete your General Application (a series of qualifying questions). Please note this is only to start the application process, once you submit the general application you will get a “recommended” scholarship that you will need to look over and apply. This does not automatically generate an application to all scholarships. This is just a preliminary questionnaire to determine certain scholarships you may be eligible to apply for. You must click on Apply Now to those you are interested in.
  • Please note all scholarships are listed by the most recent application deadline to the oldest, and in alphabetical order. If you need to find one in specific, use keywords in the search bar to find it. Applications have a 11:59 pm deadline on the deadline date listed.
  • Note, if a scholarship action says NONE, these are auto-matches applications. You are automatically considered for these scholarships based on your general application responses/student data imported from your student account.


    Our timeframes are as followed:

  • Fall Semester Cycle: February 1 through April 15. Allow four weeks for review. Offers sent out by end of May.
  • Spring Semester Cycle: September 1 through November 1. Allow four weeks for review. Offers sent out by end of December.
    Please be sure to save often as the system will sign you out after minutes of inactivity. We do not accept any applications past the deadline or via email.
  • All notifications regarding scholarship applications are sent to your dupage.edu email address. Make sure you are checking your COD email regularly. Scholarships are for tuition, fees, and/or books/supplies only (unless otherwise noted). Applying for scholarships are NOT guaranteed to be automatically awarded, as they are competitive based on merit, academic achievement, financial need, etc. Funds are gift aide.
