Our Opportunities

Welcome to the College of DuPage Scholarship Portal!

Our scholarship applications are now open. Our COD Foundation Scholarships for Spring 2026 applications are due by November 1st, 2025. Other institutional scholarships will open at various times. To be up to date with when we open scholarships, fill out your general application now to be automatically notified of opportunities you are eligible for to apply once they are available.

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.

  • To submit an application for an opportunity listed, sign in using your COD credentials for MyAccess and complete the General Application. Once the General Application has been submitted, qualified applicants will automatically be considered for several of the opportunities you meet the criteria for.
  • After completing the General Application, you will also have access to submit additional applications for any of the specific opportunities that require more information, such as an extra essay, transcript, letter of recommendation, etc.
  • Applications for scholarships may only be submitted when the applications are open. Once the deadline passes, the application will no longer be available for the current scholarship cycle.
  • Please make sure your application is submitted by the deadline date. (Applications close at 11:59 PM on the deadline date.) Only applications in a submitted status and from qualified applicants will be sent to the scholarship review committees for award consideration.


    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, essay responses, etc. Funds are gift aide.
