All Opportunities

Welcome to the Dordt University Scholarship Homepage!

Below you will find a listing of scholarship opportunities that are available to Dordt University students with brief information about each opportunity and the qualifications. To apply to any opportunity which requires an application you must be an accepted or currently enrolled student. To apply for these scholarships you will need to sign in using your Dordt user name and password and you will then have the opportunity to complete the General Application as well as all additional applications you may qualify for.

New/Prospective Students – Please note that you must be accepted to Dordt University prior to applying for scholarships on this page.
Once you are accepted you can find your Dordt email/user name and password when you log in to your application portal here. The information will be on the right-hand side of the page in the yellow box. Once you locate your Dordt username and password, please return to this page and use that information to log in to this site by clicking on the Sign In button at the top right of the page.

The majority of the scholarship opportunities offered by Dordt University are auto-matched through the General Application and may not require further information. After you complete your general application, you will be prompted to complete additional conditional application questions in order to be considered for different scholarship opportunities. After those are completed there may be additional opportunities for you identified as Recommended Opportunities. A limited number of scholarships indicate “Apply” under “Action” and require individual applications for consideration.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Admissions Counselor or the Scholarship Coordinator, Andrea Westerbeek, at andrea.westerbeek@dordt.edu.

Award Amounts: The amount stated is for general information purposes and not a guarantee of what you may receive if awarded. Actual award amounts can vary based on recipient eligibility, available funds, and other factors. Many of our opportunities are funded through the generosity of donors within our communities. Be advised that all funding is subject to receipt from donor.
