Freshman Academic Scholarships and Awards
Freshman Academic Scholarships and Awards
Academic scholarships and awards range from $3,000 to $14,000 for the 2012-13 entering class and are awarded to full-time students based on high school academic achievement. All students are automatically considered for academic scholarships once they are granted admission to the College. No separate scholarship application is required. Some highlights of our scholarship structure are shown in the table below.

Scholarships may have different academic expectations from federal, state, and College need-based aid. Scholarship recipients should refer to their scholarship letters for academic standards required for renewal. In addition to the freshman year, scholarships are renewable for three additional years if renewal eligibility is maintained. Students may receive only one of these awards. Transfer students and students enrolled in our Access program (adult learners age 25 and older) are NOT eligible for these awards.
*With the exception of the Hopwood Scholarship, scholarship eligibility may vary within categories according to an individual's actual test score and grade point average. Therefore, a student with a higher SAT and a lower GPA (or vice versa) than the example stated may still be eligible for a certain scholarship. SAT scores used for scholarship consideration are calculated on a 1600-point scale and include the scores from the Critical Reading and Math sections ONLY.
