Our Opportunities

Welcome to the Westfield State University Foundation, Inc. Scholarship Application Portal!

The General Application is OPEN for the 2025-2026 Academic Year.

If you have previously completed a General Application in the past, you will be REQUIRED to update your application again this year as some of the questions and essays have changed.

To familiarize yourself with our scholarship process, please visit our Scholarship Application Process Page

In order to login to the site, you will first need to create an account using your Westfield State email and password.

Once you create your account, you will receive an “invitation” email with a link back to the site where you will log in using your newly created login info. Returning applicants: If you need to recover your password, please click on trouble signing in.

To be considered for the additional scholarships, you must first complete and submit your General Application and any Conditional Applications that you may be eligible for.
Next, click on “Opportunities” then “Recommended” in the drop down box. This will take you to an additional list of scholarships for which you may qualify for.
NOTE: You are able to make changes to your application(s) at any time up until the Deadline.

IMPORTANT: You will need to click “Opportunities” then “Recommended” for each additional scholarship you wish to apply to.
PLEASE take the time to complete your application thoughtfully and thoroughly! How you answer your questions, especially detailed essays are critical for you
to be considered for a scholarship! Make sure your grammar is correct and double check spelling before the final submission of your application.

If you haven’t completed the application, you can save your application at any time by clicking “Save and Keep Editing” at the bottom of the form.
Once completed, you can submit your application by clicking “Finish and Continue”.
Your Application is not considered complete until you submit it!
