Incoming Freshman
|
 |
The Centennial,
Presidential, and Dean’s scholarships are
awarded to incoming freshmen each year based
upon ACT or SAT Scores. Composite scores for
scholarship consideration are taken only from a
single test date; tests must be taken on one of
the published national test dates set by The
College Board. Students who take the ACT
residual test on campus are NOT eligible for
academic scholarship consideration. Each student
must maintain a full-time class load of 12-17
semester hours each semester. Academic
scholarships do NOT cover the cost of summer
camps or Summer Honors. SAT
composite scores taken in April 1995 or later require
the reentered composite score for scholarships. Students
older than traditional high school graduates are
eligible for academic scholarships if they are
first-time college attendees. |
Centennial Scholarship
The Centennial
Scholarship is awarded to any student who has graduated
from an approved high school and who scores 31-36 on the
ACT or 1400-1600 combined score on the critical reading and math sections on the SAT. Those
students who qualify must carry more than eleven credit
hours per semester and maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade
point average or higher in order to continue receiving
the award. The scholarship is distributed in two phases.
In the first phase, all Centennial Scholars receive an
amount equal to standard tuition. This phase lasts for
the recipient’s freshman year. The second phase is in
effect from the recipient’s sophomore year until he or
she graduates. In the second phase, Centennial Scholars
are separated into two categories, Centennial Gold and
Centennial Silver. Those Centennial Scholars with a
cumulative grade point average of 3.0 to 3.69 will be
designated as Centennial Silver. Those with a cumulative
grade point average of 3.7 and above will be designated
as Centennial Gold. A Centennial Silver Scholar receives
a half tuition scholarship for each semester that he or
she qualifies. A Centennial Gold Scholar receives a full
tuition scholarship for each qualifying semester. If at
any time the student should lose the scholarship for
falling below the 3.0 or the 3.7 cumulative grade point
requirement, it can be reinstated at either level once
the GPA is equal to or above the original level. This
scholarship can be used in any semester including the
summer, but not after graduation. The Centennial Gold
Scholarship is awarded in place of, not in addition to,
the Honor Scholarship. If a student enrolls in another
college/university as his or her primary choice in his
or her projected beginning date, this student will
forfeit his or her eligibility for the Centennial
Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded by the Office
of Admissions.
Presidential Scholarship
The Presidential
Scholarship is awarded to any student who has graduated
from an approved high school and who scores 27-30 on the
ACT or 1230-1390
combined score on the critical reading and math sections on the SAT. This scholarship is equal
to standard tuition for the freshman year. The
scholarship must be used in the academic year
immediately following graduation. Students who enroll in
another college/university as their primary choice in
their projected beginning date forfeit eligibility.
Presidential scholarships are awarded by the Admissions
Office.
Dean's Scholarship
The Dean's Scholarship
is awarded to any student who has graduated from an
approved high school and who scores 24-26 on the ACT or
1120-1220 combined score on the critical reading and math sections on the SAT. This
scholarship is equal to one-half standard tuition for
the freshman year. The scholarship must be used in the
academic year immediately following graduation. Students
who enroll in another college/university as their
primary choice in their projected beginning date forfeit
eligibility. Dean’s scholarships are awarded by the
Admissions Office.
