Freshman Academic Scholarships and Awards
Academic scholarships and awards range from $3,000 to $12,000 for the 2008-09 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.
Hopwood Scholarship | $12,000 | Valedictorian or Salutatorian |
Trustee Scholarship | $10,000 | 1000 SAT and 3.75 GPA |
Presidential Scholarship | $9,000 | 1000 SAT and 3.25 GPA |
Dean's Scholarship | $8,500 | 1000 SAT and 3.00 GPA |
Alumni Award | $5,000 | 1000 SAT and 2.50 GPA |
Achievement Award | $3,000 | Minimum of either |
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 are calculated on a 1600-point scale and include the scores of the Critical Reading and Math sections only.
