Scholarships assist students with the cost of education. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic criteria, but might also include financial need, campus/community activities, leadership positions and work experience. Scholarships are designed to reward, encourage, and assist students in pursuing academic excellence and leadership roles. Scholarships do not need to be repaid, but may have specific criteria for you to remain eligible (i.e. grade point average, program, etc.).

Completion of the FAFSA would also be to your benefit if you wish to be considered for any of the financial need-based awards that comprise a portion of these scholarship programs. The FAFSA should be completed as soon as possible after January 1 for the following academic year and can be submitted online at www.fafsa.ed.gov
