Six (6) $5,000 scholarships will be awarded for the academic year across all CSUs.

This is a CSU systemwide scholarship. The Howard C. Christiansen Trust established an endowed scholarship in 2016.

If selected as a final nominee, the CSU Foundation will request two letters of recommendation from individuals such as teachers/professors, counselors or community leaders who can attest to the candidate’s meritorious performance and personal strengths and assess the nominee’s potential for success.
