Scholarships & Grants
100%
of first-year students received financial aid in 2023
We offer many scholarships and grants based on academic achievement, leadership skills, and other criteria. You may qualify for these resources whether or not you apply for financial aid. But if you need additional assistance beyond any scholarship offered through the admission process, please also apply for need-based financial aid.
MERIT-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS $20,000-$32,000

Our selection is based on secondary school GPA, school curriculum and rigor, and standardized test scores (if submitted). These scholarships can be renewed annually—for a maximum of four years—assuming you maintain the specified cumulative grade point average (ranging from 2.0 to 2.5). Scholarship Name GPA Minimum
Chancellor's Scholarship 2.5

Abbey Scholarship 2.0
Community Grant 2.0
