  • If a high school student has earned 24+ credit hours of college dual-enrollment transfer credit with the accompanying GPA, the student may be eligible for scholarship as a “transfer student.” Determination will be made by the Admissions Department.
  • If a student has graduated from high school and has no college credit, the academic scholarship will be based upon high school academic work and test scores.
  • SAT 1 represents the SAT taken prior to March 2016. SAT 2 represents the redesigned SAT offered beginning March 2016.

Outside Scholarships

  • Outside scholarships come from private sources. For example, a scholarship from your local rotary club would be an outside scholarship. You may choose to use the internet to search for outside scholarships. Keep in mind that smaller scholarships and those that require essays tend to have fewer applicants, which may increase your chances of being awarded one of these scholarships.
  • Consult your high school guidance counselor regarding possible scholarships that you may qualify for. Your local community may be the most beneficial place to search for outside scholarships. Local community and civic organizations (like American Legion, Boys & Girls Clubs, 4-H Clubs, etc.) may offer scholarships. Also, talk with your employer and your parents’ employers to see what scholarship opportunities they may have.
  • Check general scholarships early. Research general scholarships as early as your freshman year in high school​. There is a lot of money out there; you just have to find it. You may be eligible for scholarships close to home or those based on race, nationality, or special skills. Look into these opportunities at the local library and online, and talk with your high school guidance counselor.

If you have any questions regarding applying or eligibility for government grants, please contact our financial aid office.
