Incoming freshman scholarships are awarded based on a “no harm” policy, preferring academic achievement, and most do not require a standardized test score (ACT/SAT). Other factors such as academic major, leadership ability and specialized skills (athletics, marching band, music, etc.) also may be considered in awarding scholarships.
Incoming Freshman Scholarship Opportunities
Please note:
Incoming Freshman Scholarships are awarded based off high school GPA and rank or SAT/ACT scores. Students are eligible to submit additional transcripts if their GPA and rank have gone up that would potentially allow for a higher scholarship offer. All transcripts are required to be in by the document deadline. Unfortunately, students are not eligible for more than one freshman scholarship opportunity at a time. In this case, the lowest award will be removed. Please view the "Incoming Freshman Scholarship Opportunities" above to determine which awards are available.
For priority consideration for most scholarships, apply no later than January 15th (some unique opportunities may require earlier deadlines). Additional documents, such as updated test scores, may not be considered after the priority deadline.
Students enrolled in accelerated online programs will not be eligible for 51ԹProscholarships and will forfeit their scholarship if awarded.
