SCHOLARSHIPS THAT HELP

Merit-Based Scholarships

Merit-based scholarships are awarded to full-time students on the basis of their cumulative academic achievement and require no additional applications or paperwork on your part. Just submit your application to be considered. Merit scholarship awards range from $10,000 to $30,000 annually.

Additional Scholarships

These scholarships can be awarded in addition to our merit-based scholarships:

• Honors Scholarship: $1,000 (annual)

• Marching Band Scholarship: $1,000 to $3,000

• Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship: $2,000 (annual)

• Portfolio Awards: $1,000 to $4,000 (annual)

Need-Based Financial Aid Programs

Many need-based federal grants and loans are available through the comprehensive Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. To apply for financial aid, submit your FAFSA by the March 1 priority deadline (use our Federal code: 001397).

If you wish to receive a financial aid package earlier in the process, you should fill out the FAFSA much earlier than the priority deadline.

Note: Deadlines may apply to specific scholarships.
