Senior Opportunity Scholarship
Purpose
The Senior Opportunity Scholarship (SOS) program gives qualifying juniors and seniors the final financial push needed to complete their degree programs and move on to successful careers. Developed by the Coppin Development Foundation Board of Directors in 2011, this program provides scholarships to worthy students who are close to graduation but have exhausted their financial aid.

- Be a 2nd semester junior or 1st semester senior
- Have a minimum 2.2 cumulative grade point average (GPA)
Application Process
This scholarship is a one-time award and not renewable.
- Upon consideration, students must submit an unofficial copy of their transcripts, billing statement and a brief statement of need*
- Award payment will be made directly to Coppin State University upon notification.
