Academic Scholarships are renewable for up to three years (a total of four years) based on continued full-time enrollment and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 earned at ¹ú²ú̽»¨.
SAT/ACT Awards
If you take the SAT and score 1100 or above, or the ACT and score 22 or above, you will want to submit your test score to earn an additional $1,000 to $3,000 depending on your score. The SAT/ACT award of $1,000-$3,000 is in addition to your Academic Scholarship (Heritage, Academic Excellence, or Presidential). For students enrolling in the fall 2025, test scores must be received by June 1, 2025, to be eligible for a SAT/ACT award.
Admissions Review Process
Holistic Review Process
While the academic scholarships we award are based on core academic GPA, the ¹ú²ú̽»¨ Office of Admissions draws upon a holistic review process when reviewing and making admissions decisions. The holistic review allows us to look beyond grades and test scores to get a sense of what the applicant is like as a person and what they would contribute to the ¹ú²ú̽»¨ community.
Scholarship Requirements
Students must be accepted at ¹ú²ú̽»¨ in order to be considered for a scholarship and must enroll full-time in order to receive and renew the award. Grant and scholarship aid (federal, state and external) when combined with ¹ú²ú̽»¨ awards may not exceed the cost of attendance for the year which you are applying. Academic, performance and participation awards in combination, where applicable, may not exceed the cost of full-time tuition for the year which you are applying for aid.
A range of academic scholarships are awarded based on high school academic performance. Scholarships are renewable for up to an additional three years provided the student maintains a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA at ¹ú²ú̽»¨. These scholarships are awarded based on full-time, undergraduate enrollment.
