14th year in Colleges that Change Lives
Guarantee* Brandon Moyer ’11, Chemistry Quinter Scholar
The keys to an affordable education and great career momentum are the same—ontime graduation. Juniata expects all admitted full-time students to be able to graduate in four years or less. At recent graduations, 9296 percent of the graduates had completed their degrees in four years or less. This has been possible because students at Juniata are motivated, focused and well advised by the College’s faculty. They also are able to study abroad and complete significant research and internship experiences while maintaining the pace for achieving their degrees. Therefore, Juniata guarantees students will graduate in four years or less. The guarantee stipulates that students must make sufficient progress in an adviser-approved academic program, but if the student meets her or his obligations and still cannot graduate in four years or less, and the College is at fault, then the tuition for the remaining credits will be covered by Juniata. *Full details are available at juniata.edu.

Juniata Scholarships We commit to your success—and we have a variety of tools to help you. Juniata scholarships recognize the outstanding academic achievements of incoming students. The decision to award each of the first four scholarships is determined in part by the cumulative GPA of the student, in part by the rigor of the courses taken and in part by the academic reputation of the high school or college in which the work was done. While the minimum achievements cited for each scholarship ensure consideration, Juniata reviews academic, extracurricular and community experiences in making final award decisions. James Quinter Scholarships, valued at $18,000 per year, are named in honor of the College’s first president. Students whose cumulative GPA is 3.75 or better and who receive at least a 1320 (M+V) / 29 ACT Composite or better are eligible for consideration. Calvert Ellis Scholarships, valued at $16,000 per year, honor the president who led Juniata in the post-World War II era. Students who achieve on average a GPA of 3.65 or better and at least a 1210 (M+V) / 27 ACT Composite may be eligible. M.G. Brumbaugh Scholarships, valued at $14,000 per year, are named for a Pennsylvania Governor and Juniata president. Students whose cumulative GPA of 3.45 or better are eligible for consideration.
Heritage Scholarships, valued at $2,000-8,000 per year, are awarded to students who show commitment to leadership, community service, diversity and academic excellence. These may be awarded in addition to any of the first four scholarships described above.
All Juniata Fellows selections require interviews with a selection committee. It is recommended for students interested in the Fellows competition to apply for admission during the early action application timeframe. That deadline is January 1, 2011. Arts Fellows Faculty in relevant departments will identify and interview talented entering students with a primary or secondary emphasis in the performing, visual, and/or fine arts. The process will select four Fellows from the entering class. Eagles Abroad Fellows New students with a primary or secondary emphasis in one of the languages offered by the World Language Department are eligible to become Eagles Abroad Fellows. From among those students identified and interviewed by faculty from the department, the process will select up to six Fellows. Environmental Fellows Faculty from the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences (ESS) will identify and interview outstanding ESS students among applicants to the College. Of those, the process will name up to Four Fellows from the entering class. International and Peace Studies Fellows Faculty in Peace and Conflict and International Studies will select four Fellows from those entering students with plans for a Program of Emphasis in one of these departments.

John Stauffer and W. Clay and Kathryn H. Burkholder Scholarships are opportunities for five entering students who have achieved National Merit, National Hispanic Recognition or National Achievement Finalist status, as determined by the governing body under the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Each of four Stauffer Scholarship recipients will earn a full-tuition award, less state and Federal aid. The student selected for the Burkholder Scholarship will also receive funding for tuition, room and board and fees. All finalists must come to campus for an interview with the selection committee. Students can begin the interview process as a semi-finalist in anticipation that they will become a finalist. Finalists must present the College the official notification of finalist status and indicate Juniata as their final college choice.
