Apply for The President's Scholarship for Outstanding Academic Achievement!

A number of scholarships have been specifically established for our entering, returning and graduating students. These scholarships are awarded annually by the College's Scholarship and Financial Assistance Committee (except where noted).

Recipients of these scholarships are selected based upon donor criteria which could include demonstrated financial need, academic achievement, faculty recommendations and the availability of scholarship funds.

Below is a listing of available scholarships. For additional information on the scholarships, consult the links at left for:

  • President's Scholarship
  • Scholarships for Entering Freshmen
  • Scholarships for Returning Students
  • Scholarships for Graduating Students

Awards

In addition to the above scholarships, the college's faculty annually recommends students for various department awards based upon established award criteria.

Students selected to receive faculty department awards are notified each Spring by the Office of Financial Aid and are recognized at either Fall or Spring Convocation.

Note:

Students are considered for all scholarships for which they are eligible, but if there are one or more particular scholarships in which you are interested, please be sure to note that at the end of your scholarship essay.

Note also: Please include your e-mail address if you wish an e-mail confirmation of receipt of your application. If you do not provide an e-mail address, a letter of confirmation will be sent.
