PHS Housing Stipend
The President's Honors Scholarship (PHS) housing stipend is only awarded to scholars who live on-campus through Fresno State Student Housing. Scholars who live at home or in off-campus accomodations are not eligible to receive the stipend.
For the 2026-27 AY, the value of this stipend has been set at $6,422. The PHS housing stipend is paid directly from the Financial Aid and Scholarships office to the Student Housing office. It is not paid out to the student. For the PHS housing stipend to be awarded to your student account, you must:
- Complete the Student Housing application (usually due by June 30th each academic year).
- Indicate which term(s) you will be living in the dorms (Academic Year, Fall Semester, Spring Semester).
IMPORTANT: If a scholar defers their Fall semester housing but does not indicate that they will be returning as a resident for the Spring semester (as in the case of studying abroad or taking a leave of absence), they will not be able to access the PHS housing stipend and will have to pay the full cost out of pocket.
