It dependsÌýon the specific criteria for the scholarship fund. In general, we award scholarships based on the following factors:
Some scholarships are also based upon evaluations of prior college transcripts and other academic history. We encourage you to apply.
Â鶹Դ´ evaluates scholarship applications on a continual basis because we start new students in their programs every month. Often we are able to make an award decision within 2-4 weeks of receiving your application. You will also need to have applied for admission and been accepted to the university. An Enrollment Counselor can help explain the process.
No. New and returning student scholarship awards are divided into a set amount per term. This amount is credited against your tuition due for each term. The details are explained in the description for each scholarship.
Yes, you should also apply for federal financial aid by filling out a FAFSA. Most scholarships at Â鶹Դ´ require a FAFSA on file unless you are not eligible to apply for federal aid. If awarded a scholarship, that amount will likely only cover a portion of your school expenses, and financial aid can help pay for the rest. You can apply for financial aid while you are waiting for a decision about your scholarship application.ÌýHere is theÌýfull information on financial aid.
Â鶹Դ´ is partnering with Scholarship Universe (SU), a third-party scholarship aggregator, to help you identify and apply for scholarships based on information included in your SU profile.
