Population-Specific Scholarships
How Scholarships Work
Scholarships are applied toward your cost of attendance for the upcoming academic year. Eligibility is often determined by your high school or university GPA, financial need as determined by your FAFSA, and your academic program among other possible criteria.
Unless special permission is granted, undergraduate scholarship recipients are to be enrolled as full-time students, taking 12 or more credits on campus. Athletic achievement is not considered in the application process.
The number of scholarships given, amounts, and awards are subject to change. All scholarship awards are contingent on the availability of sufficient funds.
