What strategies, environments, or experiences best support your learning and personal growth?
Editor's notes
- This is a short application. CSM asks for a transcript and a 3.0 GPA, and every admitted full-time freshman gets a merit scholarship of $12,000 to $17,000 a year. Get the transcript and FAFSA in early so the aid picture is ready when you're deciding.
- If you're a science or math student, the Marie Curie Scholars Program is the bigger prize: up to $20,000 a year for as many as seven new students. It's the one place in CSM's process where your writing counts, so treat that 500-word essay like a real application essay.
