Our Opportunities

Welcome to the College of DuPage Scholarship Portal!

Our scholarship applications are now open. Our COD Foundation Scholarships for Spring 2026 applications will open September 1st. 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.

  • 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). We did some updates to help eliminate extra essay processes for scholarships. 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, although it will be sufficient for most 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 as some will require extra responses or references to be submitted.
  • 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, essay responses, etc. Funds are gift aide.
