SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBILITY

Before reviewing the Finance Scholarship List, please note the eligibility requirements:

  • Need-Based Scholarships: A current-year FAFSA (with valid signatures) must be on file before applying. Incomplete FAFSAs will not be considered. International students must submit an Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator instead.

Key Considerations:

  • Scholarship Criteria: Review individual scholarship criteria and submit the Finance Scholarship Application (one application for multiple scholarships).
  • Scholarship Type: Awards go to top candidates based on merit, preferences, or need. Need-based scholarships require a completed FAFSA or EFC calculator.
  • Class Level: Determined by credits to ensure proper scholarship distribution.
