We offer academic scholarships to first-time freshmen 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 5th 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). Those with at least 24 ACT composite score and a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 (unweighted) will also be considered. Applicants accepted for admission by January 5th may qualify to receive scholarships for 4 years.
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.
*Students completing an approved home-study program will be required to earn an ACT composite score of 23 or higher.
