IT Scholarships
Coppin students majoring in information technology (IT)-related fields may apply for scholarships funds based on academic achievement or financial need. Like all scholarships, this type of financial aid does not need to be repaid—these awards are a gift that students can apply to academic expenses. Specifically, IT scholarships may be used to cover Coppin-related tuition and related expenses.
Need-Based Scholarships
In 2006, we received financial contributions from Division of Information Technology staff, Nortel Networks, Gateway, Daly Inc., and Persidio. We used those funds to start offering 2 need-based scholarships:
