First Time Freshmen Scholarships

All students newly admitted to Science & Arts are automatically evaluated for scholarship eligibility. Six semester transcripts and ACT/SAT scores are required for freshmen scholarship evaluation. Complete college transcripts are required for transfer scholarship evaluation.

Science & Arts will begin awarding New Freshman scholarships by December 1.

Students may only receive one academic or talent scholarship unless otherwise noted. Students receiving a one-year scholarship are encouraged to apply each spring for continuing student scholarships in subsequent years. 

All scholarships are competitive and may change annually depending upon scholarship funding availability and other institutional factors. Students must be enrolled full-time, be degree-seeking, and meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
