Scholarships on the Web
The University maintains this list of scholarships search engines as a courtesy and does not have any involvement or responsibility in the application or awarding process.
Scholarships are a great way to help you pay for the cost of your education!
There are two categories of scholarships: merit and need. While both recognize the highest-achieving applicants, the first type is awarded entirely on the basis of merit, the other on financial need as well as merit. Private scholarships are also available from other sources.
-
Freshman Scholarships
Incoming freshman are automatically considered for up to $7,000 in annual scholarships - as much as $28,000 for four years of enrollment as full-time students, provided funding is available. These merit-based scholarships are determined by your high school GPA and SAT/ACT scores at the time of admission.
Scholarship eligible students who submit their seat deposit on or before May 1 will be awarded a $1,000 Incentive Scholarship in addition to the $1,000 to $7,000 merit scholarship!

Transfer Scholarships
Incoming transfer students will be automatically considered for merit scholarships based on your cumulative transfer GPA from all previously attended schools. Full-time students with a GPA of 2.5 or greater may receive up to $2,500 per academic year.
Full-time students beginning class in the fall semester who have a GPA of 3.5 or greater and are admitted on or before April 15 may be considered for an additional $1,000 scholarship.
