CSB Application Process Overview

To apply for CSB's Interest-free Loan, Scholarships or Grants, complete the CSB Online Application and then submit all supporting documents by May 31, 2008.  You only need to submit one application (unless otherwise noted) to be considered for all of the CSB programs whose criteria you meet. All Interest-free Loans, Scholarship and Grant awards are for one academic year only. Award recipients may reapply each subsequent year.

NOTE - We strongly recommend that all applicants apply for the Interest-free Loan Program as it will save you tens of thousands of dollars over time.  All Interest-free Loan applications must include complete cosigner information.

CSB Applications must be submitted Online before May 31, 2008. All supporting hard copy documents must be mailed and postmarked by no later than May 31, 2008.

Interview

Finalists will be contacted by email only and may be required to come to an interview with the Scholarship Committee or a member of the CSB staff. Please note that if your E-Mail address is not valid another finalist will be selected in your place.

Loan Approval Process

All of our programs are competitive; not all applicants will be selected as recipients. All decisions of Central Scholarship Bureau & the Scholarship Committees are final.

If and when a loan has been approved and the repayment terms are determined, the loan recipient and their qualified co-signer(s) are required to sign a promissory note specifying their financial obligation to repay CSB according to the agreed upon repayment plan.

After any such loan approval, all students will be required to notify Central Scholarship Bureau of any change of mailing address, E-Mail address, telephone number, or academic standing.
