FINANCIAL AID MENU
We offer academic scholarships to first-time freshman who meet certain criteria. To be considered, you’ll need to:
- Submit your ACT/SAT scores at the time of application
- Apply for admission
- Be admitted for consideration by January 31st of your senior year
Our academic scholarships begin with an ACT composite score of a 21 and a minimum high school GPA of a 3.5 (unweighted) and a 24 ACT composite score and a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 (unweighted). Applicants accepted for admission by January 31st may qualify to receive scholarships for 4 years. All qualifying criteria are needed by the January 31st deadline.
If you’ve met the criteria above, you’ll receive an invitation to our scholars banquet. If you’re unable to attend, you’ll need to notify us.
This process is for first-time university applicants only. Transfer students should apply for scholarships once they start school.
