NEW Institutional Scholarships for PA Residents up to $5,000
Commonwealth University has launched a new merit-based scholarship strategy. Using your weighted GPA, you can determine how much scholarship money you'll receive instantly! These funds are available for all new first-year full-time students and will be disbursed equally between the fall and spring semesters. These awards will be renewed annually (up to eight semesters total) as long as the student maintains a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Thinking about transferring here? Check out our new merit-based scholarships for transfer students!
The biggest thing I’ll miss about Bloomsburg is the community in the theater program. The amount of time and work put in here has shaped me to be a positive person today. Without collaborating with students through the ups and downs, I wouldn’t have made it this far.
Russell Shelton '23
Theatre Arts
I’m forever grateful for those who have helped me figure out who I am and who I want to be. Bloomsburg has provided me with a support system I never knew I needed and one I know I can always fall back on.
Lynzie Ritz '23
Pre-Medical Sciences
Bloomsburg has given me the opportunity to bloom. Moving away from my hometown allowed me to grow into the person I am today through all the friendships and experiences I've had these past four years. I was a shy timid freshman coming in, and now I'm loud and proud of who I am today.
Robert Peoples '23
Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity
I’m now more confident in myself and my capabilities than ever before because I was able to blossom here. ZIPD provided me with countless experiences and opportunities to grow as a professional, expand my confidence, and improve my networking skills. Traveling for business and representing the school at competitions, conferences, and events has broadened my horizons more than I would have imagined as a freshman.
